Hitler's Germany

the long version

Hitler's Germany provides a comprehensive narrative history of Nazi Germany and sets it in the wider context of nineteenth- and twentieth- century German history. Stackelberg analyses how it was possible that a national culture of such creativity and achievement could generate such barbarism and destructiveness. The book includes discussion on:* the relationship of Nazism to conservatism, socialism, liberalism, fascism and communism* the weakness of the Weimar democracy* the causes and foundations of the emergence and triumph of Nazism* the consolidation of Nazi power across a diverse society and in every day life in Hitler's Germany* the sporadic revival of the radical right up to the present* the afterlife of Nazism in German historical memory* the Holocaust.
