| Nazi Germany: A Critical Introduction MARTIN KITCHEN The years from 1933 to 1945 cast such a grim shadow that the moral, ethical, and religious elements embedded in the narrative are such that the subject of Nazi Germany still resists treatment as part of a historical past. Fierce debates still rage over both the how and the why of these terrible events. In this concise and accessible account Martin Kitchen addresses the major issues. How did Hitler come to power? How was the Nazi dictatorship established? What was the essential nature of the regime? What were the reasons for Hitler's extraordinary popularity? Why did Germany go to war? What led to the Holocaust? What was the legacy of National Socialism? |
| Black Propaganda in the Second World War STANLEY NEWCOURT-NOWODWORSKI Black propaganda appears over a fake signature, for example of a fictitious resistance organisation. In this book, the author examines the âblack arts' of Britain, Poland and the Nazis during the Second World War. By 1939, Josef Goebbels had won the struggle for control of the propaganda process in Nazi Germany. In contrast, it took the arrival of Sefton Delmer in 1941 for anyone in Britain to understand how to use propaganda to subvert the German war effort. Through the shadowy Political Warfare Executive, the âblack' radio stations Delmer created lured German listeners with jazz and pornography (both banned), mixed with subversive rumours. Black Propaganda explains how even before the outbreak of the Second World War, British and Polish intelligence had worked closely together on a number of key security issues that included the âEnigma' machine and the German V-weapons programme. |
