Politically adrift, alienated from Weimar society, and fearful of
competition from industrial elites and the working class alike, the
independent artisans of interwar Germany were a particularly
receptive audience for National Socialist ideology. As Hitler
consolidated power, they emerged as an important Nazi constituency,
drawn by the party's rejection of both capitalism and Bolshevism.
Yet, in the years after 1945, the artisan class became one of the
pillars of postwar stability, thoroughly integrated into German
society. From Craftsmen to Capitalists gives the first account of
this astonishing transformation, exploring how skilled tradesmen
recast their historical traditions and forged alliances with former
antagonists to help realize German democratization and recovery.
