Die Zulieferindustrie für Kraft- und Luftfahrzeuge war das eigentliche Rückgrat der nationalsozialistischen Rüstungs- und Kriegswirtschaft. Auf der Basis vielfach neu erschlossener Quellen aus dem Archiv wie verschiedenen Registraturbeständen von Continental wird die Entwicklung des Gummi- und Reifenunternehmens in der NS-Zeit erstmals umfassend untersucht. Ausgehend von der schleichenden Transformation der Unternehmenskultur und der Entwicklung Continentals zu einem NS-Musterbetrieb wird eingehend die Unternehmenspolitik im Kontext des nationalsozialistischen Vierjahresplans und die Radikalisierung der Produktionsprozesse mit Zwangsarbeit und Expansion in die besetzten Gebiete im Verlauf des Krieges untersucht. Es handelt sich dabei aber auch um eine vergleichende Geschichte, da unter anderem auch die später zum Continental-Konzern hinzugekommenen Unternehmen Phoenix sowie Teves und VDO, die hydraulische Präzisionssteuergeräte für das Heer und die Luftwaffe entwickelt haben, mituntersucht werden. Denn mit dem Kauf und der Übernahme eines Unternehmens wird auch dessen Geschichte mit allen Höhen und Tiefen miterworben, die dann gleichsam Teil einer neuen Konzerngeschichte werden. Obschon inzwischen zahlreiche Untersuchungen zu Unternehmen im Dritten Reich erschienen sind, bietet die vorliegende Studie eine Reihe neuer Erkenntnisse und Untersuchungsaspekte.

In the aftermath of the Second World War, both the allied occupying powers and the nascent German authorities sought Germans whose record during the war and the Nazi period could serve as a counterpoint to the notion of Germans as evil. That search has never really stopped. In the past few years, we have witnessed a burgeoning of cultural representations of this "other" kind of Third Reich citizen - the "good German" - as opposed to the committed Nazi or genocidal maniac. Such representations have highlighted individuals' choices in favor of dissenting behavior, moral truth, or at the very least civil disobedience. The "good German's" counterhegemonic practice cannot negate or contradict the barbaric reality of Hitler's Germany, but reflects a value system based on humanity and an "other" ideal community. This volume of new essays explores postwar and recent representations of "good Germans" during the Third Reich, analyzing the logic of moral behavior, cultural and moral relativism, and social conformity found in them. It thus draws together discussions of the function and reception of "Good Germans" in Germany and abroad.
