Nazis and Nobles

STEPHAN MALINOWSKI

While it was the popular vote that eventually hoisted the National Socialists into power, the role of the German aristocracy in all of this has seen little press. There should, after all, be little in common between some count in his schloss and the rabble on the streets. However, the German revolution of 1918 meant the enemies of the NSDAP, the communists, were an immediate danger and a common foe. This detailed book examines the uneasy relationship between the two, as the political decline of the nobility and the purge on Jews forced them apart. Heavy going, so one for students of the era only.
