In the mountain of books that have been written about the Third
Reich, surprisingly little has been said about the role played by
the German nobility in the Nazis' rise to power. While often
confidently referred to, the 'fateful' role played by the German
nobility is rarely, if ever, investigated in any real detail. Nazis
and Nobles now fills this gap, providing the first systematic
investigation of the role played by the nobility in German
political life between Germany's defeat in the First World War in
1918 and the consolidation of Nazi power in the 1930s. As Stephan
Malinowski shows, the German nobility was too weak to prevent the
German Revolution of 1918 but strong enough to take an active part
in the struggle against the Weimar Republic. In a real twist of
historical irony, members of the nobility were as prominent in the
destruction of Weimar democracy as they were to be years later in
Graf Stauffenberg's July 1944 bomb plot against Hitler. In this
skilful portrait of an aristocratic world that was soon to
disappear, Malinowski gives us for the first time the in-depth
story of the German nobility's social decline and political
radicalization in the inter-war years - and the troubled
mesalliance to which this was to lead between the majority of
Germany's nobles and the National Socialists.
