I've found yourself & Lorenzo very well read so I fear assuming you haven't heard of Viktor Klemperer & his book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTI_%E2%80%93_Lingua_Tertii_Imperii

For those who haven't encountered him, he is essentially the German George Orwell when it comes to analysing the misuse of language to advance ideology. Directly from the horse's mouth, written by a converted Jew in the middle of the 3rd Reich.
