Already when he came up with the title of his book "Hermann Löns, the Artists and Fighters (Hanover 1935)", an adaptation to the blood-and-soil ideology was made. Deimann pursued similar tendencies as early as the year the seizure of power with his work "Hermann Löns - Das deutsche Buch" (Hanover 1933), in which Löns is recommended as a writer for all Germans. In the foreword to this volume of text it says "Depth of feeling, fighting spirit, prophethood are the main traits that speak to us from the physical and spiritual face of Hermann Löns."
