Hanns Johst, the Nazi playwright, wrote a play about Schlageter. The famous line, When I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun, which has been attributed to various Nazi leaders, comes from the play. The quote actually translates as When I hear ‘Culture’... I release the safety catch on my Browning!
