Originally published in English in 1986, this book offers a concise
summary of the contribution Fritz Fischer and his school made to
German historiography in the 20th century and in particular draws
attention to continuity in the development and power structures of
the German Reich between 1871 and 1945. After 1866 the traditional
elites wanted to avoid fundamental changes in society, expecting a
victorious war to secure their own position at home and to broaden
the European base of the German Reich. Even as the Blitzkrieg
expectations foundered, these ambitions persisted beyond 1918. In
the face of working-class hostility, these elites were unable to
mobilize mass support for their interests, but Hitler fashioned a
mass party. The alliance between these unequal partners led to the
Third Reich but with its collapse in 1945 the Prusso-German Reich
came to an end. Only with the German Federal Republic did the
liberal-democratic traditions of German history again come into
their own.
