Albert Camus on National Socialism - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 331 National Socialism/Camus: Camus treats National Socialism only marginally. Not only does it seem to be unsuitable for the revolt. Nor does it offer any interesting arguments. The more banal evil presents itself - as Hannah Arendt characterized it - the more boundless it becomes. Thus Camus gives the verdict: "Hitler represents the perhaps unique case in history of a tyrant who leaves nothing behind in his favour"(1). Cf. >Hannah Arendt. 1.
