Johannes Fritsche? Sounds like an interesting fellow. I tried to find out
more about him and discovered he wrote the book you recommend and received
something called ?Habilitation in Philosophy, Technische Universität Berlin,
Berlin (Germany)? both in 1999. That must have been a busy year for him.
But now he is teaching in Turkey:
http://www.usakpedia.com/content/Johannes_Fritsche . That strikes me as a
rather strange career move. But I know there are strong ties between
Germany and Turkey; so perhaps not.
I checked the seemingly elaborate bibliography in Emmanuel Faye?s Heidegger,
The Introduction of Nazism into Philosophy, 2009, and Fritsche wasn?t
listed, but then an author I have become fond of, Julian Young, wasn?t
listed either. Of course Faye wouldn?t want to list every book on
Heidegger, but one would think that a book with the title Historical Destiny
and National Socialism in Heidegger?s Being and Time would have a prime
place, for if the title is indicative of Fritsche?s project, Fritsche
promises to address the very issue Faye strikes me as being weakest in.
Also, Julian Young?s book Heidegger, Philosophy, Nazism addresses issues
very much to this point.
Another book I am fond of, Luc Ferry and Alain Renaut?s Heidegger and
Modernity is in Faye?s bibliography. Ferry and Renaut are critical of
Heidegger, but then so is Young, but neither are quite as critical as Faye
is and Young is very much his own man about what to criticize.
I can read Faye for only a few moments at a time; so I have been
supplementing him with Jacques Derrida?s Of Spirit, Heidegger and the
Question (in Faye?s bibliography under ?other works.?)
I did order Fritsche?s book.

Unfortunately I have been busy practising the means of transcendence
beyond Dasein-with and Dasein-in to Dasein-for ('Sorge') by caring for
a sick member of the household (who is finally on the road to
recovery, thank goodness) and have not been able to give my full
attention to the discussion of Heidegger and National Socialism (to
which I once devoted the larger part of 2 years of research).
In anticipation of a little more time in the coming week, I will offer
as something to chew on the following sentences:
>>'Heidegger', then, will take the place here of a certain discursive
regularity. It will not be the proper name, which refers to a man
from Meßkirch, deceased in 1976.<<
PLEASE NOTE that both I and Johannes Fritsche (from whose book
_Historical Destiny And National Socialism in Heidegger's BEING AND
TIME_ I took those sentences) are REPORTING, and NOT endorsing, them.

P.S. large parts of Fritsche's book are available in a 'limited
preview' on Google books. Interested list members may wish to look it
up for themselves. It is not an easy read, but it certainly is an
interesting one.
