The Third Reich in power, 1933-1939

Evans, Richard J author

Overview

In The Third Reich in Power, Richard J. Evans tells the story of Germany's radical reshaping under Nazi rule. Every area of life, from literature, culture and the arts to religion, education and science, was subordinated to the relentless drive to prepare Germany for war. His book shows how the Nazis attempted to penetrate and reorder every aspect of German society, encountering many kinds and degrees of resistance along the way, but gradually winning the acceptance of the German people in the long run. Those who were seen as unworthy to be counted among the German people were dealt with in increasingly brutal terms. The Nazi regime took more and more radical measures against the racially \"unfit,\" including Germany's Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally ill, \"asocial\" and \"habitual\" criminals. After six years of foreign policy brinkmanship that took the Nazi regime from success to success, Hitler's drive to prepare Germany for the war that he saw as its destiny reached its fateful hour in September 1939. The war he unleashed was to plunge the world into a maelstrom of genocide and destruction.
