Abstract

L'Allemagne d'avant-guerre était-elle une puissance économique réelle ou imaginaire ? L'image de réussite et d'efficacité véhiculée par l'entrée en guerre et le Blitzkrieg a-t-elle faussé les analyses ? La peur quasi panique que les Etats-Unis éclipsent le Vieux Continent a-t-elle induit la stratégie militaire de Hitler ? Autant de questions que cette histoire économique du IIIe Reich rend intelligible, complétant les lectures politiques et militaires habituelles de cette période. " L'histoire économique éclaire d'un jour nouveau à la fois les motifs de l'agression hitlérienne et les raisons de son échec - de son échec inéluctable ", peut-on lire dans la préface. Ce constat exhaustif balaie les idées reçues, offre des conclusions inédites et propose une approche globale assurément nouvelle.

Abstract

The Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest financial institution, played an important role in the expropriation of Jewish-owned enterprises during the Nazi dictatorship, both in the existing territories of Germany, and in the area seized by the German army during World War II. In this 2001 book Harold James uses new and previously unavailable materials, many from the bank's own archives, to examine policies which led to the eventual genocide of European Jews. How far did the realization of the vicious and destructive Nazi ideology depend on the acquiescence, the complicity, and the cupidity of existing economic institutions, and individuals? In response to the traditional view that business co-operation with the Nazi regime was motivated by profit, this book closely examines the behaviour of the bank and its individuals to suggest other motivations. No comparable study exists of a single company's involvement in the economic persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany.
