In 1977 the German sociologist Klaus Theweleit published Male Fantasies, Vol. 1: Women, Floods, Bodies, History, a study of the ephemera of the proto-fascist interwar German paramilitary, the Freikorps. He analyzes the letters, memoirs, propaganda, and prose of the Freikorps officers in order to understand fascism’s psychic logic, in particular the role of women in the unconscious of fascist men.
