The Nemesis of Power: The German Army in Politics, 1918-1945The author documented the German Army's involvement in politics. He argues that under von Seeckt's leadership during the Weimar period, the Reichswehr formed a "State within the State" that largely preserved its autonomy from the politicians in Berlin, but that it did not, however, play an active role in day-to-day politics. |
