Evola’s attempt to influence Nazi doctrine was…
““Evola’s attempt to influence Nazi doctrine was unsuccessful: the Nazis weren’t interested in Aryan Jews or vice versa, and in any case the difficulties in telling which from which were probably insurmountable. And although he made many German contacts, the pragmatic Himmler finally saw no use for him. Being rejected by Himmler may be a mitigating factor, but it hardly exonerates Evola for his ideas about race.””
