A Brief History of The Third Reich: The Rise and Fall of the Nazis | Martyn Whittock

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Beginning in the broken aftermath of the First World War and the Treaty of Versailles that made German recovery almost impossible, Whittock tells not just the account of the men who rose to the fore in the dangerous days of the Weimar republic, circling around the cult of personality generated by Adolf Hitler, but also a convincing and personality-driven overview of how ordinary Germans became seduced by the dreams of a new world order, the Third Reich. The book also gives a fascinating insight into the everyday life in Germany during the Second World War and explores key questions such as how much did the Germans know about the Holocaust and why did the regime eventually fail so disastrously?

A Brief History of The Third Reich: The Rise and Fall of the Nazis | Martyn Whittock

pick

A good book to get a general overview of the third Reich in my opinion.
I especially like how at the end of each chapter it lists the sources for that chapter for further study.
It's a pretty balanced book, not holding back on condemning the crimes of the time, but also not putting the blame solely on one person or groups shoulders.
It shows how a lot of factors contributed to the rise of the Nazi regime and how it lead the world into a world war.
