Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the judgment of national defeat of Germany as a result of World War II by Ernst Junger — the intellectual representing a conservative part of the German elite. As the sources for search chosen are his diary entries relating to the time of the end of World War II and to the first post-war years. These memoirs allow seeing both the changes happening in Junger's consciousness, and changes in socio-historical reality which were exactly fixed by the thinker.
