Never before or since have animals played as significant a role in
German history as they did during the Third Reich. Potato beetles
and silkworms were used as weapons of war, pigs were used in
propaganda, and dog breeding served the Nazis as a model for their
racial theories. Paradoxically, some animals were put under special
protection while some humans were simultaneously declared unworthy
of living. Ultimately, the ways in which Nazis conceptualized and
used animals-both literally and symbolically-reveals much about
their racist and bigoted attitudes toward other humans. Drawing
from diaries, journals, school textbooks, and printed propaganda,
J.W. Mohnhaupt tells these animals' stories vividly and with an eye
for everyday detail, focusing each chapter on a different facet of
Nazism by way of a specific animal species: red deer, horses, cats,
and more. Animals under the Swastika illustrates the complicated,
thought-provoking relationship between Nazis and animals.
