1932-1933: Hitler in the Historical Scene
About This Novel
In the summer of 1932, the Weimar Republic was on the verge of collapse. In Germany, one in three people is unemployed and social violence is rampant. Hitler's fascist National Socialism won resoundingly at the polls. Paul von Hindenburg was an aging war hero and avowed monarchist, a reluctant president who was compelled to uphold the Constitution. The November elections offered Hitler the prospect of a majority in the Reichstag and a path to political power. But instead, the Nazis lost 2 million votes. As membership dwindled and financial backers withdrew, the Nazi party threatened to split, Hitler even talked about wanting to commit suicide, and the New York Times declared that he was finished. Yet somehow, within a matter of weeks he became Chancellor of Germany. This book returns to the historical scene and is supported by a large amount of historical materials. It tells the critical six months before Adolf Hitler seized power, reveals the operation trajectory of evil power, and the truth about how the Nazi leaders gained power after wandering desperately between victory and destruction, providing profound lessons for history.
