Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS
Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS, by Amy Carney, is the first work to significantly assess the role of SS men as husbands and fathers. These families contributed to the transformation of the SS into a racially-elite family community that was poised to serve as the new aristocracy of the Third Reich.
Humour and Social Protest
The seventeen essays in this book examine the power of humour in framing social and political protest.
Racial Science in Hitler's New Europe, 1938-1945
In Racial Science in Hitler’s New Europe, 1938–1945, international scholars examine the theories of race that informed the legal, political, and social policies aimed against ethnic minorities in Nazi-dominated Europe. The essays explicate how racial science, preexisting racist sentiments, and pseudoscientific theories of race that were preeminent in interwar Europe ultimately facilitated Nazi racial designs for a “New Europe.” The volume examines racial theories in a number of European nation-states in order to understand racial thinking at large, the origins of the Holocaust, and the history of ethnic discrimination in each of those countries. The essays, by uncovering neglected layers of complexity, diversity, and nuance, demonstrate how local discourse on race paralleled Nazi racial theory but had unique nationalist intellectual traditions of racial thought. Written by rising scholars who are new to English-language audiences, this work examines the scientific foundations that central, eastern, northern, and southern European countries laid for ethnic discrimination, the attempted annihilation of Jews, and the elimination of other so-called inferior peoples.

Publisher description
Nazi Ideology and Ethics
This volume documents the still-rare encounter of moral-philosophical, historiographic and medical-ethical research on National Socialism, and looks at the ethical aspects of the National Socialist ideology, as well as at the moral convictions of National Socialist perpetrators, some of whom acted as “perpetrators with a good conscience”. It furthermore discusses questions such as the content and rationale of Nazi race ethics, the “euthanasia” killings and the Nazi ethics of racial warfare and the role of the SS as the vanguard of the National Socialist race state, the moral conditioning of Nazi perpetrators and their self-exoneration strategies after the defeat of Nazism, and German...
Between Mass Death and Individual Loss
Recent years have witnessed growing scholarly interest in the history of death. Increasing academic attention toward death as a historical subject in its own right is very much linked to its pre-eminent place in 20th-century history, and Germany, predictably, occupies a special place in these inquiries. This collection of essays explores how German mourning changed over the 20th century in different contexts, with a particular view to how death was linked to larger issues of social order and cultural self-understanding. It contributes to a history of death in 20th-century Germany that does not begin and end with the Third Reich.
Hitler's Home Front
This is a groundbreaking new study of an overlooked area of Second World War History.
Gendering Modern German History
To provide a critical overview in a comparative German-American perspective is the main aim of this volume, which brings together experts from both sides of the Atlantic. Through case studies, it demonstrates the extraordinary power of the gender perspective to challenge existing interpretations and rewrite mainstream arguments.
Das Schwarze Korps
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die in den Jahren 1935 bis 1945 von Heinrich Himmler in seiner Funktion als Reichsführer SS herausgegebene Wochenzeitung der Schutzstaffeln der NSDAP. Mit einer zeitweiligen Auflagenhöhe von 1,08 Millionen Exemplaren wurde »Das Schwarze Korps. Zeitung der Schutzstaffeln der NSDAP. Organ der Reichsführung SS« - so der vollständige Titel - unter Führung seines Hauptschriftleiters, SS-Standartenführer Gunter d'Alquen, zur zweitgrößten Wochenzeitung nach dem »Reich«. Das Blatt erwarb sich als aggressiver Verfechter eines "kristallklaren Nationalsozialismus" bald den Ruf einer "Reichsbeschwerdestelle", indem es auf Zuschriften von Unzufriedenen und De...
... da schlagen wir zu
Während der Endphase der Weimarer Demokratie nahm die Radikalisierung der politischen Ränder zu, verbunden mit einem Anstieg der Zustimmungswerte für die extremistischen Parteien NSDAP und KPD. Diese Entwicklung ging einher mit einem Dynamisierungsprozess verbaler und darauf folgend physischer Gewalt. Die zum Teil bürgerkriegsähnlichen Verhältnisse vor 1933 wurden nach der Machtübernahme durch die NSDAP durch eine zunehmend perfektionierte Gewalt seitens des Staates und der Partei abgelöst. In Sachsen kam es, nicht zuletzt aufgrund der seit 1918 besonders großen gesellschaftlichen Polarisierung, zu einer äußerst rücksichtslosen Verfolgung vornehmlich politischer Gegner, an der si...
