Broschiertes Buch

The Hitler Myth

Image and Reality in the Third Reich

Beschreibung

Auf eindrucksvolle Weise zeigt Ian Kershaw, 'wie gewöhnliche Deutsche während des Dritten Reichs Hitler sahen'. Seine profunde Quellenkenntnis und sein ausgewogenes historisches Urteil ermöglichen es Kershaw, lebendig und scharf analysierend zugleich die Stimmung in der deutschen Bevölkerung einzufangen, die verschiedenen Strömungen zu verfolgen und so die Entwicklung und den Niedergang des Hitler-Mythos nachzuzeichnen. Few twentieth-century political leaders enjoyed greater popularity among their own people than Hitler in the 1930s and 1940s. The German people's admiration rested less on the bizarre and arcane precepts of Nazi ideology than on social and political values recognizable in many societies other than the Third Reich. Kershaw charts the creation, growth, and decline of the 'Hitler myth', and demonstrates how the manufactured Führer-cult formed a crucial integrating
force in the Third Reich and a vital element in the attainment of Nazi political aims.
