Hitlers Tyskland: Dagligliv i det tredje rige

by Matthew Hughes, Chris Mann, Hans Chr. Dahlerup Koch (Translator)

Efter nazisternes magtovertagelse i Tyskland, sad folkets vilje i førerens uniformslomme. Mange oplevede i starten, at hverdagen blev nemmere, og at de nye tider bragte fremgang og orden. Under anden verdenskrig stillede regimet dog store krav til befolkningens loyalitet og opofrelse. Snart var dagliglivets nye goder afløst af omfattende bombardementer og daglig kamp for overlevelse.

"Hitlers Tyskland" er fortællingen, der i ord og mere end 200 udvalgte billeder viser, hvordan den tyske hverdag formede sig under Det Tredje Rige. Historikerne Hughes og Mann beskriver den dårlige økonomi og arbejdsløshed, som Hitler profiterede af.
I 1933 blev han på demokratisk vis kansler, og vilkårene blev bedre. Nazisterne leverede varen. Folk kom i arbejde, fik udbetalt løn, og for første gang kunne den tyske arbejder holde en hel uges ferie med familien.

Familien var grundstenen. Manden forsørgede familien og kvinden fødte børn og passede hjemmet. Børn tilhørte Det Tredje Rige og blev opdraget til at tjene fædrelandet. Livet var i en vis forstand enkelt, men på mange områder blæste der nye vinde. Den nazistiske ideologi tålte ikke modstand. Hitler fik skudt politiske modstandere, fængslet andre og knægtet både kirke og kultur. Kun godkendte kunstnere kunne arbejde. Bandlyste bøger blev brændt på offentlige pladser. Hvis man ikke ville deltage i den herskende nazitilbedelse, dukkede man hovedet og passede sit. Jøderne, som allerede før Hitler havde været upopulære, blev nu systematisk chikaneret og forfulgt. Deres skæbne var beseglet længe før krigen.

Da krigen kom, var tyskerne velforberedte. Befolkningen oplevede i starten den ene sejr efter den anden. Så faldt mændene ved fronten, og kvinderne måtte lægge grydeskeen for at arbejde i våbenindustrien. Fra september 1939 medførte kritik af den tyske krigsførelse dødsstraf. Krigslykken vendte og bomberne regnede ned over det tyske folk. I 1944 sagde man i Berlin "Jeg vil hellere tro på sejren end fare halshugget rundt". Flere grupper, især kommunisterne, organiserede modstanden mod regimet, men med livet som indsats. Selv da nederlaget var indlysende, kæmpede de tyske soldater. De frygtede russerne og ikke mindst SS, som anholdt folk vilkårligt og hængte dem. SS fortsatte arrestationerne, selv da man med det blotte øje kunne se russernes indtog i Berlin.

Reviews

[Veve · Rating 4 out of 5]

Strašná představa, že vše, co je zde popsáno je realitou. Že se to doopravdy stalo. Kolik lidí přišlo o život, o domov, o příbuzné. Co vše dokázal zničit jediný režim za pár let. Tohle nikdo nechce zažít.

[Anysha · Rating 4 out of 5]

+: zajímavý a méně známý fotografický materiál, přehledné členění kapitol (Nacismus a ekonomika, Nacismus a ženy..), dobře popsaný kontext nástupu NSDAP k moci, důvody její popularity pro obyvatele a následný "rozkvět" Německa ve 30. letech (výstavba dálniční sítě, Kruppovy závody..)

- : je to spíš úvod do tématu, znalcům nepřinese nové informace

[Kate Forsyth · Rating 4 out of 5]

A broad and accessible look at life in the Third Reich, with lots of pictures and breakout boxes. Useful and informative, with a good bibliography.

[Adam · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought it was very good. Full of facts that were new to me, for example about impact of allied bombing on the domestic views of the war, armaments development. Stories were well told, including testimonials from regular people, from vicims and from perpetrators too. Many of the photos were also new to me (though it does include some of the iconic ones too). Not too long, which is important for books about broad subjects like this. Overall, informative read and the photos make the stories come alive. Good companion to Berlin Diary by Shirer.

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

I definitely enjoyed this book. It went into a lot of detail regarding Hitler and those close to him and his meteoric rise .

What I liked about this is the mixture of pictures with the information, to help with putting names with faces.

If you are interested in how the Third Reich operated not a bad read for that.

Highly recommended.

Man, Hitler a bitch.

[Hunter Bustamante · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't usually enjoy books about war or history, but since this was European history and a required assignment for my Lit. class, I decided to read it. This, surprisingly, was a good book. I enjoyed the psychiatric look on the Nazi party's rise and fall. I would recommend this book to those reluctant to read about history, it might just change your mind about history books.

Matthew Hughes put together a wide variety of information about World War 2 in this magnificent book. I can find almost any information I want, or at least gather an idea of where to go from there. While I believe he should have explained certain words more, or described some people better in general, I LOVE how it has everything from rarely seen pictures of Hitler's father to direct quotes.
