How could the Right transform itself from a politics of the
nobility to a fatally attractive option for people from all parts
of society? How could the Nazis gain a good third of the votes in
free elections and remain popular far into their rule? A number of
studies from the 1960s have dealt with the issue, in particular the
works by George Mosse and Fritz Stern. Their central arguments are
still challenging, but a large number of more specific studies
allow today for a much more complex argument, which also takes
account of changes in our understanding of German history in
general. This book shows that between 1800 and 1945 the
fundamentalist desire for a single communal faith played a crucial
role in the radicalization of Germany's political Right. A
nationalist faith could gain wider appeal, because people were
searching for a sense of identity and belonging, a mental map for
the modern world and metaphysical security.
