you could start with my favorite, carl schmitt.
there are a number of books that you could read of his---i think political theology is a good place to start.
i was also thinking about ernst junger's novels of the same period.
storm of steel--but that's a bit more futurist.
you could also try any number of a host of books written by historians concerning early german fascism and the ideology of masculinity--start with george mosse's work and move sideways.
have a look and get back to me: i'd be happy to provide more titles, otto.
this is not a hostile post, btw--i really find it odd to see this stuff circulating from time to time amongst neocon folk-not so much at the center of the ideology, but as a way of talking about power, the aesthetics of it.
