'It's like being in a dream', commented Joseph Goebbels when he
visited Nazi-occupied Paris in the summer of 1940. Dream and
reality did indeed intermingle in the culture of the Third Reich,
racialist fantasies and spectacular propaganda set-pieces
contributing to this atmosphere alongside more benign cultural
offerings such as performances of classical music or popular film
comedies. A cultural palette that catered to the tastes of the
majority helped encourage acceptance of the regime. The Third Reich
was therefore eager to associate itself with comfortable
middle-brow conventionality, while at the same time exploiting the
latest trends that modern mass culture had to offer. And it was
precisely because the culture of the Nazi period accommodated such
a range of different needs and aspirations that it was so
successfully able to legitimize war, imperial domination, and
destruction. Moritz Foellmer turns the spotlight on this
fundamental aspect of the Third Reich's successful cultural appeal
in this ground-breaking new study, investigating what 'culture'
meant for people in the years between 1933 and 1945: for convinced
National Socialists at one end of the spectrum, via the legions of
the apparently 'unpolitical', right through to anti-fascist
activists, Jewish people, and other victims of the regime at the
other end of the spectrum. Relating the everyday experience of
people living under Nazism, he is able to give us a privileged
insight into the question of why so many Germans enthusiastically
embraced the regime and identified so closely with it.
