Highly illustrated account of the rise of Hitler, the prewar National Socialist movement, the Nazi government, and life in Germany during World War ll.

The Third Reich was one of the most infamous regimes in history, being responsible for murderous repression and millions of deaths during World War II. INSIDE HITLER'S GERMANY is a highly illustrated account of the rise of Adolph Hitler and the prewar National Socialist movement, the Nazi government, and life in Germany during World War II. INSIDE HITLER'S GERMANY examines all aspects of life under the Nazis by drawing upon the personal experiences of ordinary German soldiers and civilians. In this way the book provides a unique insight into what life was like in a totalitarian society, how organizations such as the SS and Gestapo impinged upon people's lives, and the affect Nazi rule had on the economy, culture, and women's rights. INSIDE HITLER'S GERMANY also examines the attitude of ordinary Germans to racist policies, and their knowledge of, and participation in, the Holocaust. In addition, the 280 photographs in the book recreate the atmosphere of Hitler's Third Reich in a way that words cannot.

Contains a series of historical maps that present a clear introduction to the First World War, accompanied by supporting text and statistical tables, surveying the main battles, campaigns, and events. Includes bibliography and index.
