War and Economy in the Third Reich
War and Economy in the Third Reich
War and Economy in the Third Reich
War and Economy in the Third Reich examines the nature of the German economy in the 1930s and the Second World War. Richard Overy's essays, collected here for the first time with a substantial new introduction, explore the tension between Hitler's vision of an armed economy and the reality of German economic and social life. Often thought-provoking, always informed, War and Economy opens a window on an essential aspect of Hitler's Germany

Reconstruction in Post-War Germany: British Occupation Policy and the Western Zones, 1945-1955
After years of relative neglect, the reconstruction of post-war Germany has recently become a major research focus for historians. The contributors to this volume were among the first to evaluate the archives relevant to their topic and are hence able to present many fresh insights into Allied occupation policy in the late 1940s, revealing the painful adjustment which German industry, institutions and citizens had to make in the post-1945 world

Transportation and Rearmament in the Third Reich
The role of rearmament within the economic framework has become a theme of recurring interest in twentieth century history. During the century, however, the scope of the problem has broadened considerably, so that historians no longer talk of rearmament as merely the direct preparation of a nation's armed forces with the means of waging war. Instead the idea of‘ total war’ introduces a new dimension, indirect or economic rearmament. This second d…

Hitler's War and the German Economy: A Reinterpretation
Hitler wanted a healthy and expanding economy so that he could convert it to the giant task of European and Asian conquest. The Blitzkrieg economy is just as elusive in the wider context of German war preparations. Industry was faced in 1939 with the prospect of rising trade and a consumer boom based on the continued modernization of the German economy. German economy, encumbered with the apparatus of Nazism, performed its tasks inefficiently. Fr…
Hitler and Air Strategy
Hitler's personal role in the German air effort and in the planning and execution of air strategy is one of the few areas of the history of the Second World War that can fairly be claimed to be underresearched. Yet there is no doubt about the importance of this role. Hitler was overall commander-in-chief and hence finally responsible for placing air power within the context of a wider strategy. Throughout the war he insisted that the final decisi…

The Nazi Economic Recovery 1932–1938
The performance of the German economy between the Great Crash and the Second World War has been the subject of intense academic debate. The problems of economic growth were acute in inter-war Germany, and the depression of the early 1930s intensified these problems, driving many Germans towards the political extremes. The Nazi seizure of power in 1933 was followed by the introduction of an extensive 'package' of government policies to expand dema…
