The Myth of Chancellor von Schleicher's Querfront Strategy
In the multitudinous accounts of Adolf Hitler's rise to power, one interpretation dominates with regard to the political strategy of his predecessor as Reich chancellor, General Kurt von Schleicher. Beginning with the pioneering books of the journalist Konrad Heiden in the 1930s and continuing through countless versions down to the most recent scholarly works, Schleicher has, with rare exceptions, been depicted as having sought to thwart Hitler b…
Fallada for Historians
Two Dubious Third Reich Diaries
Diaries justly rank among the most valuable sources for historians. Committed to paper soon after the events and thoughts they record, diaries are free of the knowledge about what occurs afterward or only later takes on significance that adulterate memoirs and render them far more problematic for historians. It is therefore worthy of a cautionary note when historians confuse examples of the two genres. That has frequently occurred in the case of …

Hitler's Thirty Days to Power
A history of the fateful month that gave rise to the most destructive leader of the 20th-century. Henry Ashby Turner provides an account of the events that culminated in Adolf Hitler's taking power in January of 1933. He shows how luck, political intrigue, and the personal weaknesses of Hitler's more powerful, traditional conservative opponents paved the way to his Chancellorship. Turner also seeks to re-establish the importance of individual act…

German Big Business and the Rise of Hitler
Continuity in German Foreign Policy? The Case of Stresemann
Nearly twenty years have now passed since Fritz Fischer enunciated, as little more than an aside in his dense tome on German aims in the First World War, a thesis about German responsibility for the outbreak of the war which Bernadotte Schmitt and Luigi Albertini had defended much more thoroughly and effectively decades earlier. The controversy sparked by Fischer's violation of what had become a taboo in West German historical circles has, since …
Fascism and Modernization
If the number of publications is an accurate gauge, there was a conspicuous revival of interest in fascism during the past decade. One obvious reason for this was the erosion of the theories of totalitarianism that had dominated discussions of political extremism during the 1950's. By linking German National Socialism and, in some cases, Italian Fascism with Russian Communism, these theories inhibited consideration of fascism as a distinctive gen…
The Ruhrlade , Secret Cabinet of Heavy Industry in the Weimar Republic
On the evening of January 9, 1928, twelve of the most prominent men of German heavy industry, attired in tuxedos, gathered at the Villa Hügel, the Krupp family's grandiose palace outside Essen, for the first meeting of the most mystery-shrouded industrial organization of the Weimar Republic: the Ruhrlade . The man responsible for its formation was Paul Reusch, managing director since 1908 of the coal, steel, and manufacturing combine Gutehoffnung…

Emil Kirdorf and the Nazi Party
The extent to which German big business aided Hitler in his rise to power is still a matter of controversy. For Marxists, or at least those who follow the Moscow line, there is no problem, since they regard Nazism as a manifestation of the monopoly stage of capitalism. Non-Marxists, however, are widely divided. Some have reached conclusions similar to those of the Marxists; others have exonerated the capitalists. Most have concluded that big busi…

Streseman and Politics of Weimar Republic
Largely because Gustav Stresemann’s fame rests on his accomplishments as Germany’s foreign minister during the Weimar Republic, little has been written about his equally important part in the domestic politics of Germany. Beginning with the emergence of the Republic in the autumn of 1918, Professor Turner charts Stresemann’s rise in only three and a half years from member of the German Reichstag to Chancellor of the Republic. Using information dr…
