Drawing exclusively on
interviews and personal letters and diaries from the earliest days of
the Nazi party to the final hours of the thousand-year Reich, this book
reveals how the Hitler cult influenced and corrupted every aspect of
public life. Every part of German life was shaped by its malign
influence education, health, business, the press, the judicial system,
the church, sport, the arts, work, the family. The stark contrast
between the myth of One People, One Fuhrer perpetuated by Nazi
propaganda and the harsh realities of life in the Third Reich are laid
bare in this compelling study.True-life stories of ordinary Germans and
their lives in Hitler s Germany. Challenges the popular view of Nazi
Germany as a nation unified behind their despotic leader, and asks 'What
would you have done if you had been in their shoes?', Includes
photographs scattered throughout text."
I received this book in
exchange for an honest review. This was a truly fascinating read. It is
hard to imagine what would possess people to join such a horrible
belief. This book explores what made people believe Adolph Hitler and
join his cult. The book is very well written and a wonderful glimpse and
the history and madness of Hitler.
