Life in the Third Reich: Daily Life in Nazi Germany, 1933-1945 - Paperback

by Paul Roland (Author)

Germany was a deeply divided nation when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in 1933. As the shadow of the swastika lengthened, its citizens quickly came to realize that the Nazis' brutal programme was not optional.

Life in the Third Reich draws on the recollections of those who actually experienced the rise and fall of this brutal and vicious regime: from the indoctrination of children to the disappearance of family, friends and neighbours and the effect of Kinder, K che und Kirche Children, Kitchen and Church] on the female population, to the defiance of the 'swing kids' and the resulting deprivation of the Nazi policy of 'Guns, not butter'.

Featuring striking photography of life under the regime, this compelling account tells the stories of ordinary Germans caught up in an extraordinary time.
