Between 1920 and 1940, Blunck published many novels and narratives, which are regarded in modern times as an attempt to establish the way to National Socialism.
Blunck was especially interested in Nordic themes and Hanseatic history, which he framed with an emphasis on nationalistic aspects and the "völkisch" body of thought.
His work includes conflicts with the Germanic pantheon, Norse sagas, fairy tales, ghost stories and Low Saxon poetry.
In 1933, Blunck was ordered to take the post of the first President of the Reich Literature Chamber (Reichsschrifttumskammer), whose job was to further the control and Gleichschaltung of literary production and distribution.
The answer is given – for the others are silent – by the poet He mourns along the dark streets in the night And erects memorials for the dead in his heart.
– Because he knows that many more will die, Before the eternal Reich of all Germans is founded; He turns his heart into a pledge and embraces the shadows, Kisses their wounds and cares for their shot foreheads, He protects them and wards off words of hate, That the world spreads against the dead And a beloved country that has lost its freedom.
Today God is silent, but He will speak again, He will crush the power of guns He will blow away the might of the haters like the dust in a storm.
In front of the morning window A blackbird sings its greeting Still tranquil and tender like a silvery stream In the first outflow of Eastern light.
And my lips are laughing, because My wife opens her eyelids And still dreaming listens to the bird And receives its happiness And cares for her beloved one.
