Sculptures of the Third Reich
The Third Reich's architectural triumphs, Olympic events and trade exhibitions, were extravagantly adorned by the most stunning sculptures. These splendours have since been destroyed and their records airbrushed out of the history books by the victors of World War II.For this reason the names and works of the greatest sculptors in history may be better known and appreciated in 2000 years than they are today.The staggering beauty and size of the statues, monuments, and war memorials created by Arno Breker, Fritz Klimsch, Josef Thorak, and Ernst Kunst might be forgotten without this sumptuous illustrated record of the Reich Renaissance. Here is art that surpasses that of the greatest civilizations. Leafing through its 144 pages with nearly 300 superb photographs and images supported by captions and biographies, Sculptures of the Third Reich Volumes I and II will leave you breathless. You will surely ask yourself, "What on earth have we destroyed?"

Art, Culture, and Media Under the Third Reich
Art, Culture, and Media Under the Third Reich explores the ways in which the Nazis used art and media to portray their country as the champion of Kultur and civilization. Rather than focusing strictly on the role of the arts in state-supported propaganda, this volume contributes to Holocaust studies by revealing how multiple domains of cultural activity served to conceptually dehumanize Jews and other groups. Contributors address nearly every facet of the arts and mass media under the Third Reich—efforts to define degenerate music and art; the promotion of race hatred through film and public assemblies; views of the racially ideal garden and landscape; race as portrayed in popular literatu...
Inside the Third Reich
The author, Hitler's architect and later his armaments minister, was in the dictator's inner circle for almost 12 years. After the war, Speer used the enforced leisure of his 20 prison years as a war criminal to plan and write these memoirs. This is the most revealing document on the Hitler phenonmenon yet written. It takes the reader inside Nazi Germany on four different levels: Hitler's inner circle, National Socialism as a whole, the area of wartime production and the inner struggle of Albert Speer.
Sculptures of the Third Reich
When on May 8 1945 the Reich was overwhelmed by the Soviet, British and American Empires the Allies set about destroying every artwork, motif, bust, sculpture, figurine that represented the German Reich.Massive, systematic destruction of National Socialist art works has since continued in accordance with the terms of the Potsdam-Agreement. The Allies set about smashing countless sculptures and burning thousands of paintings. Around 8,722 artworks were plundered and shipped to military deposits in the U.S.The Allied book burning fest included 34,645 book titles plus every school text book published 1933 - 1945. It was a scorched earth policy that sent a 13-year boy to the gallows for his refusal to remove a picture of Hitler from his bedroom wall.Totally destroyed were 90 percent of the works completed by Arno Breker, described by Aristide Maillol as a German Michelangelo. Providentially, remnants and photographs remain. In Sculptures of the Third Reich Volumes I and II preserves for posterity an exhaustive collection of sculptors' biographies and over 600 images of their works.
