The ascension of the Nazi Party from fringe fanatics to the undisputed rulers of a mighty Germany was a bloodsoaked
march that seized the lives and minds of a generation, and bent them towards war. Commandeered by
an ambitious young loner by the name of Adolf Hitler, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party finally
achieved its ambitions of power in 1933, and immediately set about rearming a recovering Germany for what
would be the greatest conflict in history, while excluding the ‘undesirables’ within the population it sought to
completely control. From ostracizing and then murdering Jews to destroying all political opposition and
indoctrinating the nation’s children via the Hitler Youth and League of German Girls, the Nazis enforced their
will via cunning propaganda and the ruthlessness of the Gestapo. The History of Nazi Germany book delves into
the dark roots of the Nazis, before exploring their stunning grab for power and the effects of their brutal
policies on the German state, which ultimately created a nation that reflected the racial and social beliefs of
one of history’s most hated figures.
