"Hanns Johst (8 July 1890 – 23 November 1978) was a German poet and playwright, directly aligned with National Socialist philosophy, as a member of the officially approved writers’ organisations in the Third Reich. The statement “When I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun”, variously misattributed to Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Göring, was in fact a corrupted version of a line in his play Schlageter." - (en.wikipedia.org 18.12.2020)
