My Opposition: The Diary of Friedrich Kellner. A German against the Third Reich Robert Scott Kellner
In recent years diaries dealing with National Socialist Germany and World War II have been increasingly used as primary sources and as assigned texts in undergraduate history courses. They convey a proximity to historical events and provide insights into the mindset of a past age that few historical monographs can match. Diaries illuminate the values and conceptions of honor in past epochs and expose contemporaries’ unfiltered responses to the mo…
Wie bürgerlich war der Nationalsozialismus
‘Bürgertum und Nationalsozialismus’ might have been a more fitting title for this rich and multi-faceted conference volume if the question, ‘How bürgerlich was National Socialism?’ were based on National Socialists’ self-assessment. The short answer could then be only: ‘not very’. Antagonism toward bourgeois values was a central element in National Socialist self-presentation and propaganda in the years before 1932 and then again during the first…
Becoming Hitler: The Making of a Nazi
This is one of those rare consistently interesting books that captivates the reader throughout. In his study on Hitler’s formative years as a politician in Munich between November 1919 and the publication of Mein Kampf in the mid-1920s, Thomas Weber authoritatively revises standard interpretations of Hitler’s early years that have maintained their place in the literature. Weber’s arguments are based not only on private papers, interviews and a ca…
The Antibourgeois Character of National Socialism
Julius Streicher und ‘Der Stürmer’ 1923–1945
This is at once a voluminous biography of Julius Streicher and a history of Streicher’s infamous antisemitic rag, Der Stürmer . More than five hundred pages of text and thousands of footnotes inform the reader about Streicher’s life and his iniquitous Der Stürmer , known for its vile antisemitism. The volume is commendable for its thoroughness and richness of facts; its numerous illustrations substantiate the author’s arguments. Roos has diligent…
Anti-Semitic Violence ‘From Below’: Attacks and Protestant Church Responses in Germany in 1933
This article is divided into two parts: the first analyzes grass-roots anti-Semitic violence in the winter and spring of 1933; the second the reaction of the German Protestant Church (one of the few remaining institutions still able to protest effectively) to this violence. As shown here, anti-Semitic violence during the first phase of the Nazi Machtergreifung was more brutal and widespread than hitherto assumed, ranging from assault, break-ins a…
The Fateful Alliance
On 30 January 1933, Alfred Hugenberg's conservative German National People's Party (DNVP) formed a coalition government with the Nazi Party, thus enabling Hitler to accede to the chancellorship. This book analyzes in detail the complicated relationship between Conservatives and Nazis and offers a re-interpretation of the Nazi seizure of power - the decisive months between 30 January and 14 July 1933. The Machtergreifung is characterized here as a…
The fateful alliance: German conservatives and Nazis in 1933 : the Machtergreifung in a new light
Between the Dictates of Conscience and Political Expediency: Hitler’s Conservative Alliance Partner and Antisemitism during the Nazi Seizure of Power
This article investigates the plight of German Jews during the Nazi seizure of power in 1933 and, in particular, how DNVP leaders and members reacted to nazi transgressions and violence. The first section reviews the existing literature, which clearly reveals the gap in our present knowledge of the DNVP's role during the Machtergreifung. The second section examines the plethora of violent attacks on Jewish-owned businesses and individual Jews fol…
The Nazis and their Conservative Alliance Partner in 1933: The Seizure of Power in a New Light
This article concentrates on the uneasy, tension‐ridden relationship between the Nazi Party and its alliance partner, the conservative DNVP (German National Peoples Party), during the Nazi seizure of power from 30 January to 14 July 1933, when Hitler declared the ‘revolution’ ended. While the DNVP and the Nazi Party had much in common, it is the conflict between the two, in particular the substance of Nazi attacks on the DNVP and its organisation…
