Hitler's Third Reich in 100 Objects: A Material History of Nazi Germany

by Roger Moorhouse

Hitler's Third Reich is still the focus of numerous articles, books and films: no regime of the twentieth century has prompted such interest or such a body of literature.
Collated and presented by one of the world's leading historians of Nazi Germany and illustrated with photographs throughout, this book is an accessible, compelling and often revelatory guide to the Third Reich.

Ranging from documents and postcards to weapons and personal effects, these objects include Pervitin, Hitler's Mercedes, Hitler's grooming kit, the Messerschmitt 262, the Luger pistol, the Tiger Tank, Eva Braun's lipstick case, the underpants of Rudolf Hess, and, of course, the Swastika and Mein Kampf.

About the author

Living the Dream. Historian and author of an international bestseller - "Berlin at War" was #1 in Lithuania :-) - as well as a few other books, such as "Killing Hitler", "The Devils' Alliance" and "First to Fight" - the last of which won the Polish Foreign Ministry History Prize in 2020.

I write mainly about Nazi Germany and wartime Poland, but I fear that might scare some people off, so I'll just call myself a writer of history books.

My current book (published in the UK in August 2023) is "The Forgers", which is the fascinating story of the Ładoś Group - a ring of Polish diplomats and Jewish activists operating out of wartime Switzerland - who were forging Latin American passports to help Jews escape the Holocaust. It is a VERY interesting subject - so I would urge you to get a copy!

I hope you enjoy my books. Any questions or queries or just wholesome praise, do let me know...

The Third Reich in 100 Objects

Roger Moorhouse is one of Europe’s top experts on the Nazis and the Third Reich, who has published over the years some of the most important studies on various aspects of the Reich and its people. This book has been collated by an expert and it also happens to be the first of its kind covering the Third Reich and the Second World War.

What this gives the reader is a wide range of objects that illustrate all aspects of life of that period, from politics to normal, mundane life. Some of the objects are bizarre others are sinister and many could be considered rather ordinary if it were not for where they were from and what they were used for. It cannot be any way be said that it could be an easy task to limit yourself to just 100 objects to define the Third Reich.

The first object that is recorded is Hitler’s Pain Box that had been looted out of his desk in his Munich apartment, by the Belgium war correspondent Robert Francotte. Some of the usual suspects are here such as Mein Kampf, The Berlin Olympic Stadium of 1936, and the Hitler Youth Uniforms being examples of this.

There are also objects that you may not expect to be included such as Rudolf Hess’s Underpants, the Wilhelm Gustloff Bracelet and the Prinz Eugen Propeller. Which all help to make this a fascinating account of the objects concerned in the book.

Each of the objects in this book, besides pictures of the item concerned there is a detailed description of each item. This gives you an idea of why it was included in the book and the fascinating history each object holds.

The premise, the research and intent of this book as a different way of looking at the Third Reich, makes this truly an interesting book. As I am sure Roger Moorhouse would explain there is very little left to discover about the Third Reich as a library of books are usually published each year, all covering very much the same subjects, with nothing very new added.

This book does bring a different way at looking at the Third Reich and therefore makes this book, readable and interesting.

Fascinating. This collection of objects from Nazi Germany, some well-known and some merely mundane, eloquently tells the story of the evil that Hitler and his acolytes unleashed on Germany and the world. The photographs of the objects are accompanied by in-depth descriptions of their context and significance. Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about the Nazis and World War II.

Thanks to Alex and the rest of the team at Pen & Sword for providing me a hardback copy of this book that I freely chose to review.
I have always been fascinated by antiques and collectibles, not so much for their monetary value, as for the stories (and the History) behind the objects. As museums prove, objects can make us feel closer to other cultures and eras, creating a tangible reminder of lands and times distant from ours. Some objects might have an intrinsic interest (they are made of valuable materials, or by well-known artists), others are interesting because of their owners (kings, queens, or famous historical figures, like writers, inventors, artists…), and others because of what they represent. Although no objects are good or bad in their own right, they become infused with meaning through the use they are put to, and they can make us feel all kinds of emotions, from delight to abject fear.
In this book, the author has collected a hundred objects to give us, as the subtitle states, ‘A Material History of Nazi Germany’. And he achieves his aim with flying colours. The author is an expert on the period and has written many books about Hitler and Nazi Germany, and although I’m sure different people would have chosen differently, the selection he has put together gives the reader a good understanding of all aspects of life in Nazi Germany. We find personal objects, both of the Nazis (from Hitler’s paint box and his moustache brush to medals, decorations, and death cards) and their victims (the well-known Judenstern [the yellow star Jews had to wear), a forced labourer’s ‘Work Card’, or Sophie Scholl’s Matriculation Card [a member of the White Rose resistance movement]), objects that illustrate everyday life under the regime (ration cards, a gas-mask, the devaluated German banknotes, Hindenburg Lights…), examples of propaganda (The Schattenmann [the shadow man, a warning against talking about military secrets], a variety of posters including one for the propaganda anti-Semitic film Der Ewige Jude, the Great German Art Exhibition Catalogue, and the many imposing buildings), objects directly related to the war, including weaponry (planes, tanks, bombs, even the V-2 Missile) and documents. Each object is accompanied by a brief note (around a page or so) explaining its origin and putting it into context.
Richard Overy’s introduction sets well the project of the book and its author and emphasises the importance of image for Hitler and his party. This becomes increasingly evident as one progresses through the book, where there are ample examples of uniforms, symbolism (like their use of runes, the swastika, and the German eagle), badges… The writing is both informative and compelling, and it varies to suit the nature of the object. Sometimes it is descriptive and fairly neutral, but at others, it is impossible to read without feeling grief, sadness, and/or anger. The book has the advantage of not following a narrative thread, whereby it is easy to read in fits and starts, and readers can pick and choose the objects they are interested in, or go through them all, as I did. If we read it from beginning to end, the objects form a chronological history of sorts, as we start with objects that reflect the beginning of the regime, and eventually get to weaponry and documents from the very end of the war. The last object is Göring’s cyanide capsule, so you get the idea.
There were objects I was familiar with, and others that I knew about but had never seen (for example, the iron bed of a psychiatric asylum, that, as a psychiatrist, I found particularly moving and horrifying), and some that were complete surprises, like a Hitler Elastolin Toy Figure, the Mutterkreuz (a cross given to mothers who had 4 children or more. The author summarises it thus: It signified, in effect, the politicisation of the German womb, [Moorhouse, p. 109]), or the very cute ‘Goliath’ miniature tank (sorry, but there are some lighter moments as well. In case you feel curious, you can check it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath...). What I was more impressed by, apart from the quality of both, images and writing, was the way these disparate objects and the narrative behind them managed to give me a good sense of what life was like at the time, without having to read tonnes and tonnes of pages full of dry information. This book illustrates well the power of images. I have read plenty of books set on that era and watched many movies that take place in the same historical period but seeing the real objects helped me feel closer to the action, the people, and the events than I had ever before.
I recommend this book to people interested in the history of the period who are not big experts on it and don’t want an exhaustive account of battles and events. I also recommend it to anybody thinking about writing a book about the era, or people who design sets or work sourcing props or designing backdrops and objects for theatre, television or film. There is plenty of material to inspire numerous productions, and it is all collected in a single, easy-to-read, and well-indexed volume, with notes that facilitate further research tasks. Another winning volume published by Pen & Sword.
A quick note: my version of the book is a hardback copy, but I’ve checked the e-book version and the images are as good as those in the print version (although depending on the use you are thinking of giving it, you might consider what suits you best, as there’s little difference in price between the two versions, but this varies depending on the store).

Really what more can be said about the Nazi regime that hasn't already been written about or filmed or documented in some way. Yet this book adds a personal, societal and iconic perspective that is unique. Of course V-1 rockets and Mein Kampf have been talked about ad nauseum yet when combined with the plastic toy figure of Hitler and Rudolf Hess's underpants something is added. One realizes how Nazism infected every aspect of German life.

[Jeff Crosby · Rating 4 out of 5]

Each of the 100 items described here have photographs that explain their significance. Some of the items are well known. Others are more obscure. Taken in small doses, I have enjoyed examining these relics of a disturbing past.

Many items are expected, such as an Enigma cypher machine or a Gestapo identification disc. Other items are esoteric, such as Eva Braun’s lipstick case. Some of the larger items, such as the gate house at Birkenau and the Wannsee Villa carry strong imagery of the Holocaust.

The author is at times judgmental, but not unjustified. Overall, I found the book fascinating.

Very interesting choices of objects to highlight from
this era of history, but the information about them is a bit shallow - definitely for a younger audience / a more casual reader

[Henrik Warne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I picked this one up on a whim in the book store and ended up buying it. I am glad I did – it was surprisingly good. I have read a few books on World War II, and I know the basic facts of it quite well. However, I learnt quite a bit about Germany before the war, when the Nazis were taking over.
There is quite a mix of objects included in the book. Each object has one or more pictures (of good quality) and a couple of pages of discussion. Through the stories of the various objects you get a good overview of the third reich. There are several themes represented by many objects, for example weapons (Stuka airplane, Luger gun), Hitler (Mein Kampf, Berghof), and the holocaust (the gate to Birkenau, poison gas). Many objects deal with how the Nazis came to power and how they tightened their grip on it – very chilling, and something I didn’t know much about.
The book feels well research and is a very easy read. Each object is a good starting point for describing some aspect of Nazi Germany before and during the war. The sum of the stories is quite fascinating, and I learnt a lot I didn’t know.

[Eric Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

The danger of a book like this one is that it could encourage the fetishistic collection of Nazi memorabilia. There is already a fairly large community of people who collect such things, and some (including members of Britain’s royal family) have even been known to dress up in Nazi uniforms (all in good fun, of course). But the skilful hand of Roger Moorhouse ensures that this will not be the case with this book. As many of the objects discussed here show, the German Nazis were murderous barbarians. The art they collected was often mediocre, their ideas half-baked (Moorhouse points out that Hitler’s Mein Kampf was largely unreadable) and the one thing they excelled at — murdering innocent and defenceless people — is shown in some detail. Many of the objects are familiar, but others seem to be quite rare finds. Beautifully illustrated in full colour. Highly recommended.

[Bec · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fantastic read. I really enjoyed the photographs alongside the text and the information was just enough to outline the importance of each object. The choice of objects included in the 100 were an excellent mix - there were well known items, such as the star pictured here, plus lesser known ones, such as Rudolf Hess’s underpants(!) This book would be excellent for those who have a decent knowledge of the Third Reich already, or those wanting an introduction to some of the main aspects of this complex period in history.

As an introductory history text there is plenty of value in Hitler's Third Reich in 100 Objects: A Material History of Nazi Germany by Roger Moorhouse. Taking the relatively unique approach of using material artefacts as a means to help develop an understanding of the Third Reich, this book will certainly help those who are wanting to learn about the genocidal German regime, whilst encouraging engagement with infromative visuals. This may not be the kind of volume that the more serious academic reader will rely upon for their own historical exploration of Hitler's Germany, yet it serves as an ideal introduction to the topic thanks to the combination of the well chosen selection of objects presented in the volume, and the concise and informative supporting text written by Moorhouse.

The author's choices for artefacts that demonstrate salient aspects of the Third Reich are very representative of almost all aspects of German life during the rise, climax and fall of the Nazi Party. Some of the items highlighted are representative of a broader concept, construct or policy, such as the sketch made by Hitler for the planned rebuilding of Berlin as the Nazi Hauptstadt Germania, or the poster for the notorious propaganda film Der Ewige Jude (The Eternal Jew). Artefacts such as these demonstrate various ideological concerns of the Nazis, presented in physical form.

Then there are the 'tools' of the Third Reich, whether they be military (e.g. the Tiger Mk.I tank, the V-1 and V2 'Vengeance' weapons, the Messerschmitt Me-109), political (e.g. Nazi membership badge, Mother's Cross) or other (e.g. Zyklon-B canisters, Hitler Youth uniform, KdF Volkswagen, Volksempfanger radio receiver). As per the symbolic items these objects embody both specific and broad values of the Nazis, and are all valuable as visual and physical means to interrogate and understand Nazi history.

Interestingly enough Moorhouse has also included buildings and other monumental structures in his selection, and this includes Flak Towers built in Berlin, the gates of the Birkenau extermination camp, autobahns and the Berlin Olympic Stadium.Through the provision of these large structures as examples of the Nazi regime made concrete Moorhouse is able to remind the reader of the scale of the Hitlerian vision, whether it was fulfilled or not.

The choices made by Moorhouse for the items shown and discussed in Hitler's Third Reich in 100 Objects: A Material History of Nazi Germany cannot be challenged; if anything another ten or twenty uirther items could've been included but that would've been an over-delivery on what the author has set out to achieve. It might be said that unless one was to somehow collate the actual physical artefacts into one place (an impossible task) this is the most effective way one could produce a pseudo-kinesthetic history of Hitler's Germany.

Moorhouse's text for each object is well-written, concise, appropriate and informative. Perhaps he is guilty fo simplification in certain instances, however that is okay considering the nature of this book. The author makes some effort to introduce certain 'high' concepts (e.g. volksgemeinschaft into the information for most of the artefacts shown herein, and he writes in a clear and effective prose. There are some minor errors here and there, and they are more sins of omission than comission. Frankly nitpicking what Moorhouse has written is a minor concern; it is the holistic approach to history taken by the author, through the combination of the visual, physical and written, that makes this such a successful book.

So, why read Hitler's Third Reich in 100 Objects: A Material History of Nazi Germany? As stated above, this is a very useful and engaging introductory history text on the Third Reich. It offers a relatively new approach to its topic, and the material presented here, whilst not original per se is given a more engaging slant because of the form of the book's content. I have no qualms recommending this book, particularly for anyone interested in teaching Nazi history to secondary students.

Most books on the World Wars tend to focus on the Greatest Hits. You know the playlist - Hitler’s rise, D-Day, Goebbels’ propaganda machine, the Blitz, the Holocaust, and maybe a dramatic retelling of the bunker finale. These are important, of course, but sometimes it starts to feel like history’s being told with the volume turned all the way up. What often gets lost are the quieter moments, the mundane objects, and the lives of everyday people swept up in the storm.

That’s where Moorhouse’s ‘The Third Reich in 100 Objects’ comes in - and what a refreshing change of pace it is.

This isn’t just another retread of the same Nazi history. Instead, it’s a thoughtful, accessible, and sometimes surprisingly moving collection of short stories, each centered around a physical object from the time of the Third Reich. Some are large and infamous (the Enigma machine makes an appearance), but many are deceptively ordinary: a toy soldier, a ration card, a tram ticket, a woman’s hairpin. What Moorhouse does so masterfully is zoom in on these seemingly minor relics and use them to zoom out on a much larger story about what life was really like during those dark years.

This isn’t the just the story of Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels (though they do make their required appearances); it’s also the story of the mother raising children on meager rations, the factory worker caught in the machine of militarization, the soldier on the Eastern Front clutching a letter from home. In other words, this is history seen through the lens of the everyman, and it’s all the more powerful because of it.

One of the great strengths of the book is that it doesn’t just present the objects and tell you what they are. Moorhouse uses each one as a sort of narrative springboard. The story behind a simple propaganda badge turns into a discussion of how the Nazis weaponized symbolism and identity. A school textbook reveals how young minds were shaped, one arithmetic problem at a time, to view the world through a warped ideology. A pair of binoculars becomes a meditation on surveillance, power, and complicity.

And while the subject matter is obviously heavy, Moorhouse has a gift for keeping the tone readable. He writes like a historian who knows that history is best served without too much starch. The prose is intelligent without being dense, informed without being preachy, and even allows for the occasional moment of dry wit - thank goodness.

What I appreciated most, though, is how the book helped me feel the time period more intimately. Not just understand it in a textbook sense, but feel the daily tension of living under such an oppressive regime. By the end, I didn’t just know more about how the Third Reich functioned - I understood how average people survived it, endured it, and in some cases, quietly resisted it.

Of course, the format does have a few limitations. Because it’s structured around individual objects, the narrative jumps around a lot, which means there’s not a strong linear thread. If you’re someone who wants a blow-by-blow chronological account, this isn’t the book for you. And there were a few objects that felt like they belonged more in a museum gift shop than in the spotlight of a chapter. A couple of the selections were a bit of a stretch, like “we really needed to round it out to 100, didn’t we?” moments. But honestly, that’s nitpicking.

The real takeaway here is that this book does what so many don’t - it gives voice to the everyday people who were often overshadowed by the monstrous figures in charge. It doesn’t glorify or sanitize - it simply illuminates. It’s easy to forget that history wasn’t just shaped by the people at the podiums. It was lived, minute by minute, by people who had to make impossible choices, endure constant fear, and somehow keep going.

By focusing on everyday things - small items with big stories - Moorhouse brings that reality home in a deeply human way. I walked away from this book with a much fuller picture of what it meant to live in Nazi Germany, not just as a footnote, but as a person trying to navigate the chaos.

If you’re a history fan looking for a book that gets past the usual suspects and into the fabric of everyday life under the Third Reich, this is a smart, sobering, and worthwhile read.

To compile a collection defining a period in history as controversial and so well known as the Third Reich to a limited list of just one hundred objects is no easy feat but it is clear that Moorhouse is an expert in the field.

With a vast range of objects that vary from the mundane to the sinister, each features with their own uniqueness and importance to the era in which they came from. There are some that you would expect to see in a list such as this: the Judenstern, the iconic symbol of the horrific treatment forced upon the Jewish population; the Hitler Youth Uniform, a symbol of a brainwashed society; and the V-2 Missile, an incredible technological achievement but a disastrous failure. However, other objects take you by surprise, for example Rudolf Hess's Underpants which make this collection an utterly fascinating yet grim study.

Moorhouse writes with such a compelling flair and there is a sense of chronological order to the book as you work through the list which overall provides a background narrative to the Third Reich - I believe this would be especially useful for those newer to the details of the period.

The imagery is striking and truly brings you closer to what was a terrible time in humanity's history, providing at times an uncomfortable closeness to the grim realities of war. Food for thought to remind you that not all history was "good" history.

It is books like these that I feel really drive forward the importance of visuals within books, as it can be one thing reading about it, but it is a completely different thing seeing it for yourself.

I would like to thank @greenhill_books for kindly sending me a copy of this book, it was utterly fascinating.

4.5 ⭐

Pozycja może być ciekawa zarówno dla osób zainteresowanych tą tematyką, jak i dla laików szukających nowych informacji. Jest ona nie tylko spisem przedmiotów związanych z Rzeszą, lecz również opowiada jej historię przez te przedmioty.
Jak również sam autor zaznaczał we wstępie, niektóre zawarte tam przedmioty są mniej lub bardziej oczywiste. Mnie, jako osoby, której zainteresowania obracają się w kręgu historii wojennej, oczywiście interesowały bardziej informacje z kręgu "mniej oczywistych", jednak zawarcie tych drugich było niezbędne, aby dobrze opowiedzieć dzieje III Rzeszy.

Dość ciekawe. Pomimo mojego znacznego od lat zainteresowania tematyką, w tym również okazjonalnie artefaktami pojawiającymi się w tym opracowaniu, nie znałem wielu z ciekawostek przytoczonych przez autora. Czyta się dość dobrze, ze względu na brak chęci zasypania czytelnika informacjami. Ot krótko, czasem w przypadku niektórych tematów może nawet zbyt krótko - odniesienie się do symboliki opisywanego przedmiotu. Rzeczowo i na temat. Można śmiało polecić lekturę.

Found this to be much more engaging than I anticipated. Some of the 100 Objects were very familiar, but even there his commentary added depth. And having visuals to go with the stories added a lot for me. Items like Sophie Scholl's registration form, Goering's telegram to Hitler, the list from the Wansee Conference - all added a visual depth to the stories. Overall, I was very impressed and glad I added it to my library.

Jag tänkte först att det skulle bli bra rapsodiskt, men istället blev de avgränsande kapitlen om enskilda föremål väldigt givande. Att det bara är en sak som tas upp gör att ämnet inte flödar ut. Sedan är boken full med aspekter man inte tänkt på, som exempelvis:

Jag visste att nazisterna var kraftigt överrepresenterade bland de unga i de tyska valen (liksom kommunisterna), men inte att Schuschnigg i folkomröstningen för Österrikes överlevnad satte åldersgräns på 24 år för att just de yngre var de mest fanatiska i stödet för Hitler.

Eller att det tyska raketprogrammet kostade så enorma summor, motsvarande 20 000 PzKw IVa (Tiger), men Hitler trodde han skulle vinna kriget med det. Han trodde fel.

Att Waffen-SS antagligen var den största multinationella armé som någonsin slagits under en flagga (!!! :-O ).

Att Goebbels var överförtjust i modern konst och nog skulle låtit det dominera men blev överkörd av Hitler.

Att media hade den nazistiska revolutionen varit omöjlig (Goebbels åsikt), så Goebbels lät ett brett lockande utbud med underhållning, sport och allmän information för att se till att propagandan påverkade subtilt, den måste förföra snarare än att så lyssnaren i huvudet (så tänker ju även kommunisterna).

One hesitates to give five stars (‘it was amazing’) to a compendium of icons of evil, but the sheer scope of the paraphernalia of tyranny revealed in this book really is amazing. Superbly researched, with some astonishing photos, it is, by turns, both horrifying and moving; especially so as you pause to reflect on the human dimension behind each of the objects featured.

This fascinating book examines the items of propaganda (physical, audio and visual) which aided the rise of fascism in Germany. Among the 100 objects are weaponry and armaments, symbols, books, films and images of locations. It is an important reminder to take note of what seems to be small changes and consider potential misuse and outcomes.
