Ebook: The Shaping of the Nazi State

Representing the scholarship of historians who have largely based their findings on previously unpublished material, this volume (originally published in 1978) provides a critical and provocative assessment of many established opinions on significant themes related to the dramatic rise and development of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Movement. The volume discusses among other things:



The development of Hitler's foreign policy ideas



The contributions of Gottfried Feder and Gregor Strasser to the successful growth of the Nazi party



The social composition of the Stormtroopers



The bureaucratic structure of the Third Reich



The character and scope of resistance within Germany to the regime
