Do you mean that Heidegger's ideas about "truth" are, as he claimed in 1945, antithetical to the ideas (he claimed they were Nietzsche's) he identified with the "intellectual plans" of "Nationalism Socialism and the Party" for the "universities" and "science and learning", "intellectual planst" he claimed never to had had any intention of imposing and, indeed, had, in his own behaviour, been opposing?
