The Nazi Years: A Documentary History

The Nazi Years brings together documents that tell the essential story of National Socialism, from its obscure ideological beginnings to its seizure of power to the exercise of that power in Germany & abroad — to the bitter end of the 3rd Reich. Historian Joachim Remak has collected, & has introduced with illuminating commentaries, key letters, speeches, memoirs, political tracts, secret memos & tabulations — written by the actors, victims or simple witnesses of the time. Here is the fanatical enthusiasm of dedicated Nazis as revealed in their own writings — a catalog of anti-Semitism & propaganda, volkisch idealism & pan-Germanism, ideas of natural selection & "race eugenics." Here too is the history of sincere but ill-fated resistance to Nazism by church people & plain citizens, of the anti-Nazi underground, & of Count von Stauffenberg's plot to assassinate Hitler. These vivid accounts by Germans at every level of society & of every political & moral persuasion provide a shattering view of one of the most terrible, tempestuous periods of modern history.
