Hitler's 'thousand-year Reich' lasted barely longer than twelve
brief and inglorious years, and yet had an impact on millions of
ordinary lives scarcely comparable with any other episode in modern
European history. Nazi Germany examines the origins and development
of Nazism, the establishment of the dictatorship and the impact on
Germany's economy, society and culture of the regime's
single-minded drive towards war and genocide. The view from above,
reflected in the movement's ideology, policy and legislation is
complemented by the many, often conflicting, views from below, as
described in the reports smuggled out of Germany by Socialist
dissidents or overheard by the regime's spies and policemen. Tim
Kirk depicts a society divided, where most were initially wary of
Hitler and sceptical about his party and its promises, and where
even enthusiastic admirers quickly became disgruntled; but where
the majority complied and few were inclined to oppose or resist the
regime, or its brutalities, until disillusionment set in and the
prospect of defeat was imminent. Approachable and authoritative,
this is an essential introduction to one of the most significant
periods in German, and modern European, history.
