This book presents and uses a major, new database of the most
serious forms of internal resistance to the Nazi state to study
empirically the whole phenomenon of resistance to an authoritarian
regime. By studying serious political resistance from a
quantitative historical perspective, the book opens up a new avenue
of research for economic history. The database underpinning the
book was painstakingly compiled from official state records of
treason and/or high treason tried before the German People's Court
(Volksgerichtshof) between 1933 and 1945. It brings together
material on resistance groups stored in the archives of the Federal
Republic of Germany and Austria with previously inaccessible files
from the former German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia and
Soviet Union. Through searching these records, the authors have
been able to reconstruct in hitherto unattainable detail the
economic, social, political, ethnic and familial profiles,
backgroun ds, and influences of all 4,378 civilians of the Third
Reich active in Germany, Austria and the outside territories for
whom there are complete records. The findings of their research
afford fresh, new interdisciplinary insights and perspectives, not
only on the configuration, timing, impact and profile of resistance
to the Nazi state, but also on a range of real-world behaviours
common within authoritarian states, such as defection, reward and
punishment, and commitment to group identities. The book's
statistical analysis reveals precisely the who, how, where and when
of serious resistance. In so doing, it advances significantly our
understanding of the overall pattern and nature of serious
resistance within Nazi Germany.
