Lobbying hitler
From 1933 onward, Nazi Germany undertook massive and unprecedented industrial integration, submitting an entire economic sector to direct state oversight. This innovative study explores how German professionals navigated this complex landscape through the divergent careers of business managers in two of the era's most important trade organizations. While Jakob Reichert of the iron and steel industry unexpectedly resisted state control and was eventually driven to suicide, Karl Lange of the machine builders' association achieved security for himself and his industry by submitting to the Nazi regime. Both men's stories illuminate the options available to industrialists under the Third Reich, as well as the real priorities set by the industries they served.

Exploitation, Resettlement, Mass Murder
Convinced before the onset of Operation \"Barbarossa\" in June
1941 of both the ease, with which the Red Army would be defeated
and the likelihood that the Soviet Union would collapse, the Nazi
regime envisaged a radical and far-reaching occupation policy which
would result in the political, economic and racial reorganization
of the occupied Soviet territories and bring about the deaths of 'x
million people' through a conscious policy of starvation. This
study traces the step-by-step development of high-level planning
for the occupation policy in the Soviet territories over a
twelve-month period and establishes the extent to which the various
political and economic plans were compatible.

The Architecture of Oppression
This book re-evaluates the architectural history of Nazi Germany and looks at the development of the forced-labour concentration camp system. Through an analysis of such major Nazi building projects as the Nuremberg Party Rally Grounds and the rebuilding of Berlin, Jaskot ties together the development of the German building economy, state architectural goals and the rise of the SS as a political and economic force. As a result, The Architecture of Oppression contributes to our understanding of the conjunction of culture and politics in the Nazi period as well as the agency of architects and SS administrators in enabling this process.

War and Economy in the Third Reich
This book examines the nature of the German economy in the 1930s and during World War II. When Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 he had two aims for the economy: a rapid recovery from the depths of the Great Slump and the creation of a vast economic foundation for Germany's renewed bid for world power. He wanted to turn Germany into a military superpower in the 1940s. These eleven chapters explore the tension between Hitler's vision of an armed economy and the reality of German economic and social life. The book argues that the German economy was much less crisis-ridden in 1939 than its enemies supposed, and that Hitler, far from limiting his war effort, tried to mobilise the economy for ‘total war’ from 1939 onwards. Only the poor organisation of the Nazi state and the interference of the military prevented higher levels of military output. Many of these chapters challenge the accepted view of the Third Reich. The book reflects on the issues they raise, and the ways in which the subject is changing.

Hitler's shadow empire : Nazi economics and the Spanish Civil War
Pitting fascists and communists in a showdown for supremacy, the Spanish Civil War has long been seen as a grim dress rehearsal for WWII. Franco's Nationalists prevailed with German and Italian military assistance - a clear instance, it seemed, of like-minded regimes joining forces in the fight against global bolshevism. This volume revises this standard account of Axis intervention in the Spanish Civil War, arguing that economic ambitions, not ideology, drove Hitler's Iberian intervention, and that, hoping to establish an economic empire in Europe, the Nazis were actually testing tactics intended for future subject territories.
