Political violence and the Nazi seizure of power / Village life in Nazi Germany / Youth in the Third Reich / Hitler and the Germans / The Nazi state reconsidered / Nazi policy against the Jews / Social outcasts in the Third Reich / Good times, bad times : memories of the Third Reich / Richard Bessel -- Gerhard Wilke -- Detlev Peukert -- Ian Kershaw -- Michael Geyer -- William Carr -- Jeremy Noakes -- Ulrich Herbert.
This book reveals that daily German life under the Third Reich involved a complex mixture of bribery and terror; of fear and concessions; of barbarism and appeals to conventional moral values employed by the Nazis to maintain their grip on society. Eight leading historians present essays that shed fresh light on topics as familiar as the role of political violence in Nazi seizure of power and the German view of Hitler himself. It also focuses on lesser-known aspects of life in the Third Reich, such as village life, the treatment of "social outcasts," and the Germans' own retrospective view of this period of their history.
