By tapping a rich vein of personal testimonies, Hitlerland offers a startlingly fresh perspective on this heavily dissected era. Some of the Americans in Weimar and then Hitler's Germany were merely casual observers, others deliberately blind; a few were Nazi apologists. But most slowly began to understand the horror of what was unfolding, even when they found it difficult to grasp the breadth of the catastrophe. The most perceptive of these Americans helped their reluctant countrymen begin to understand the nature of Nazi Germany as it ruthlessly eliminated political opponents, instilled hatred of Jews and anyone deemed a member of an inferior race, and readied its military and its people for a war for global domination."--Publisher description. 600 10 Hitler, Adolf,|d1889-1945. 600 17 Hitler, Adolf,|d1889-1945.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00034591 650 0 Nazis|xHistory. 650 0 Americans|zGermany|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|vPersonal narratives, American. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xSocial aspects|zGermany. 650 7 Americans.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00807488 650 7 Nazis.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01035219 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Social aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01354981 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919811 651 0 Germany|xPolitics and government|y1918-1933. 651 0 Germany|xPolitics and government|y1933-1945. 651 0 Germany|xSocial conditions|y1918-1933. 651 0 Germany|xSocial conditions|y1933-1945. 651 7 Germany.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01210272 910 AST 201703 945 MARCIVE (03/23)
