The same attitude, focused solely on pensions and evaluating Nature only by its potential for exploitation, led to the immense devastation in the large wheat-growing regions of the USA. Dust storms turned the most fertile land into a desert in an area the size of Germany and France. But we also see here that Americanization has already led to the beginnings of desertification in Germany. The treeless fields of West Prussian manorial estates, the Pomeranian rye steppe, and the Magdeburg BΓΆrde, as well as the barren pine forests or pole fields and the mathematically engineered river systems, show that we were close to degrading our homeland into a soulless, machine-dominated landscape. But it was precisely here, as everyone could see, that the purely technical worldview of Americanism was overcome by the biological thinking of National Socialism, which conceives of Nature as a living organism in which every single smallest part is attuned to every other, and every change in one part affects all the others. All life on this earth exists only on the basis of an indestructible harmony of the whole of Nature. From this standpoint, technology found its proper place within a higher context of meaning: it is no longer an unleashed, destructive force, but rather, as part of the whole of Nature, serves the new shaping of the German landscape. Thus, reverence for Nature and love for natural forms replace egoistic arbitrariness.
