Nazism, 1919-1945: State, economy and society, 1933-1939Jeremy Noakes, Geoffrey Pridham Volume 3: "This book contains the most systematic documentation available in English of the Nazi programme of racial extermination.It also covers German foreign policy 1933-45 and strategy during the Second World War, showing in particular the development of military and naval policy in relation to German diplomacy. From this, the book moves on to a general account of the Nazi empire, including the development of German occupation policies and focusing on the various plans for and techniques of economic exploitation. This is followed by a detailed case study of the occupation of Poland in which Nazi racial policies found their most ruthless expression. It was in Poland that the first mentally ill and handicapped patients were killed, inaugurating the 'euthanasia' programme which forms the next section of the book. It was also in Poland that the gassing techniques developed for the 'euthanasia' programme were later applied to exterminate the Jews in the death camps. As in previous volumes, material is included from a wide range of sources both published and unpublished: state and party documents, newspapers, speeches, memoirs, letters and diaries. Originally planned in three volumes, this collection will now be concluded with a fourth volume dealing with the German home front-- the political system, economy, society, and the Resistance during 1939-45." -- |
