How Berlin captivated Hitler's imagination, and how he sought to
redesign the city to align with his obsessions and ambitions From
his first visit to Berlin in 1916, Hitler was preoccupied and
fascinated by Germany's great capital city. In this vivid and
entirely new account of Hitler's relationship with Berlin, Thomas
Friedrich explores how Hitler identified with the city, how his
political aspirations were reflected in architectural aspirations
for the capital, and how Berlin surprisingly influenced the
development of Hitler's political ideas. A leading expert on the
twentieth-century history of Berlin, Friedrich employs new and
little-known German sources to track Hitler's attitudes and plans
for the city. Even while he despised both the cosmopolitan culture
of the Weimar Republic and the profound Jewish influence on the
city, Hitler was drawn to the grandiosity of its architecture and
its imperial spirit. He dreamed of transforming Berlin into a
capital that would reflect his autocracy, and he used the city for
such varied purposes as testing his anti-Semitic policies and
demonstrating the might of the Third Reich. Illuminating Berlin's
burdened years under Nazi subjection, Friedrich offers new
understandings of Hitler and his politics, architectural views, and
artistic opinions.
