Hitler was Nazi Germany and Nazi Germany was Hitler."" Though true
to the extent that Hitler's personality, leadership, and
ideological convictions played a massive role in shaping the nature
of government and life during the Third Reich, this popular view
has led many writers since the end of World War II to overlook
important aspects of Nazism while centring attention solely on
Hitler's contributions to the Nazi Party. This book seeks to ?ll a
significant gap in the literature by concentrating particularly on
the Nazi Party and its growth during the years of the Weimar
Republic, examining the paramilitary presence in Germany and
Bavaria after World War I. Most of the book describes the
development of the Nazi Storm Detachment (Sturmabteilung, or SA)
before and after the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923. By the time
Hitler came to power in January 1933, there were perhaps as many as
400,000 of these brown-shirted men, often self-styled
revolutionaries, creating violence on a daily basis and destroying
the underpinnings of the Weimar Republic. The book features several
photographs captured from the Nazi Party's Central Publishing
Facility in Munich and passed to the author in the late 1950s.
