'Brilliant, a 5 out of 5 masterpiece' Evening Standard The renowned
historian of the Third Reich takes on the conspiracy theories
surrounding Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, in a vital history book for
the 'post-truth' age The idea that nothing happens by chance in
history, that nothing is quite what it seems to be at first sight,
that everything that occurs is the result of the secret
machinations of malign groups of people manipulating everything
from behind the scenes is as old as history itself. But conspiracy
theories are becoming more popular and more widespread in the
twenty-first century. Nowhere have they become more obvious than in
revisionist accounts of the history of the Third Reich.
Long-discredited conspiracy theories have taken on a new lease of
life, given credence by claims of freshly discovered evidence and
novel angles of investigation. This book takes five widely
discussed claims involving Hitler and the Nazis and subjects them
to forensic scrutiny: that the Jews were conspiring to undermine
civilization, as outlined in 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion';
that the German army was 'stabbed in the back' by socialists and
Jews in 1918; that the Nazis burned down the Reichstag in order to
seize power; that Rudolf Hess' flight to the UK in 1941 was
sanctioned by Hitler and conveyed peace terms suppressed by
Churchill; and that Hitler escaped the bunker in 1945 and fled to
South America. In doing so, it teases out some surprising features
these, and other conspiracy theories, have in common. This is a
history book, but it is a history book for the age of 'post-truth'
and 'alternative facts': a book for our own troubled times.
