Abstract

"The Second World War was a German war like no other. The Nazi regime, having started the conflict, turned it into the most horrific war in European history, resorting to genocidal methods well before building the first gas chambers. Over its course, the Third Reich expended and exhausted all its moral and physical reserves, leading to total defeat in 1945. Yet 70 years on - despite whole libraries of books about the war's origins, course and atrocities - we still do not know what Germans thought they were fighting for and how they experienced and sustained the war until the bitter end. When war broke out in September 1939, it was deeply unpopular in Germany. Yet without the active participation and commitment of the German people, it could not have continued for almost six years. What, then, was the war Germans thought they were fighting? How did the changing course of the conflict - the victories of the Blitzkrieg, the first defeats in the east, the bombing of Germany's cities - change their views and expectations? And when did Germans first realise that they were fighting a genocidal war? Drawing on a wealth of first-hand testimony, The German War is the first foray for many decades into how the German people experienced the Second World War. Told from the perspective of those who lived through it - soldiers, schoolteachers and housewives; Nazis, Christians and Jews - its masterful historical narrative sheds fresh and disturbing light on the beliefs, hopes and fears of a people who embarked on, continued and fought to the end a brutal war of conquest and genocide." -- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Professor Peterson examines these questions in relation to Hitler's government with its reputedly unlimited internal power; he traces the flow of power throughout the Nazi state from 1933 to 1945, from Hitler to his ministers to provincial governments. Through a detailed analysis of the province of Bavaria the author shows that Hitler did not have the absolute power often assumed; that power in a totalitarian state is far more complex than many historians have conjectured; that Hitler dealt with a vast bureaucratic structure complicated by constant internecine fighting, and that only rarely did he command complete obedience.Originally published in 1969.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Alfred Rosenberg, der Verfasser des "Mythus des 20. Jahrhunderts" galt gleichsam als "Chefideologe" des Dritten Reiches. Reinhard Bollmus legt aufgrund zahlreicher Akten und Briefe der Dienststelle Rosenberg und der Ämter von Ley, Goebbels, Himmler, Rust, Schwarz und Bormann eine Darstellung vor, die zum Teil politische Biographie eines führenden Funktionärs im Staate Hitlers ist, im Wesentlichen aber ein Beitrag zur Frage der Beziehungen zwischen den höchsten Machtträgern. Erschien das nationalsozialistische Herrschaftssystem von außen zwar als Gebilde von monolithischer Geschlossenheit, so waren doch im Innern - wie Bollmus zeigt - die Machtträger zu rationaler Lenkung unfähig, galt auch dort das Erobererrecht als oberste Maxime im Kampf der Funktionäre. Stephan Lehnstaedt diskutiert in seinem bibliographischen Essay ausführlich die Forschungsentwicklungen seit der ersten Auflage. Aus dem Geleitwort von Hans Mommsen: "... das von Bollmus gezeichnete Bild (ist) im Kern bestätigt worden und seine Darstellung für das Studium der Geschichte des Dritten Reiches weiterhin unentbehrlich."

Abstract

The Jewish leftist lawyer Ernst Fraenkel was one of twentieth-century Germany's great intellectuals. During the Weimar Republic he was a shrewd constitutional theorist for the Social Democrats and in post-World War II Germany a respected political scientist who worked to secure West Germany's new democracy. This book homes in on the most dramatic years of Fraenkel's life, when he worked within Nazi Germany actively resisting the regime, both publicly and secretly. As a lawyer, he represented political defendants in court. As a dissident, he worked in the underground. As an intellectual, he wrote his most famous work, The Dual State - a classic account of Nazi law and politics. This first detailed account of Fraenkel's career in Nazi Germany opens up a new view on anti-Nazi resistance - its nature, possibilities, and limits. With grit, daring and imagination, Fraenkel fought for freedom against an increasingly repressive regime.
