This research project aims to contribute to the understanding of the rhetorical structure and collective symbolism of political-religious discourse in the Nazi-biased poetry of the literary group Junge Mannschaft (1933-1945). This study combines a historical and a context-based approach to National Socialist poetry with a textanalytical one, through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA).
