(Subject: The Third Reich - General) The experience of a single German town, 1922-1945. The author examines the entire period of the Nazi Revolution within the single locality of Northeim. He demonstrates how dictatorship subtly surmounted democracy and how the Nazi seizure of power encroached from below. Relying upon legal records and interviews with primary sources, he describes the transformation of a sleepy town to a Nazi stronghold. In his analysis, he argues that Hitler rose to power primarily through democratic tactics that incited localized support rather than through violent means.

(Subject: The Third Reich - General) This is a 1996 re-issue of the book first published in 1939, thus mis-describing the Gestapo, as the 'German Secret Service'. It was actually The Geheime Staatspolizei (Secret State Police), abbreviated Gestapo, and was the official secret police of Nazi Germany and German-occupied Europe. The book however provides a contemporary account of the pre-WWII development of German intelligence operations, from the former secret police of Imperial Germany, which was re-organised under the Nazi regime to the ruthless organisation the Gestapo became under Himmler.

(Subject: The Third Reich - General) Towards the end of the Second World War, a National Socialist resistance movement, known as the Werwolf, flickered briefly to life in Germany and its borderlands. Dedicated to delaying the advance of the Allies on both fronts, it succeeded in scattered acts of sabotage and violence. By the spring of 1945, it also showed signs of becoming a vengeful Nazi reaction against the German populace itself. 'Collaborators' and 'defeatists' were frequently assassinated, and crude posters warned that certain death would follow any failure to resist the enemy. The author demonstrates that although the group failed to assume a popular character, its influence was still great and its revolutionary sentiments would have grave implications for the future (Published: 1998) (Publisher: Univ. of Toronto Press) (ISBN: 0708314465) (Pagination: 455pp illustrations) (Condition: near fine in d/w) UL-XXXXXX
