After 1933, as the brutal terror regime took hold, most of the two-thirds of Germans who had never voted for the Nazis – some 20 million people – tried to keep their heads down and protect their families. They moved to the country, or pretended to support the regime to avoid being denounced by neighbours, and tried to work out what was really happening in the Reich, surrounded as they were by Nazi propaganda and fake news. They lived in fear. Might they lose their jobs? Their homes? Their freedom? What would we have done in their place?

Nazi Films in America, 1933-1942


Free Download Harry Waldman, "Nazi Films in America, 1933-1942"
English | ISBN: 1476680795 | 2020 | 304 pages | PDF | 41 MB
From 1933 until America’s entry into World War II in 1941, nearly 500 Nazi films were shown in American theaters, accounting for nearly half of all foreign language film imports during the period. These poorly disguised propaganda films were produced by Germany’s top studios and featured prominent pro-German and Nazi actors, directors and technicians. The films were replete with overt and covert anti-Jewish imagery and themes, but in spite of this obvious intent to use the medium to justify Nazi ascendancy, viewers and film critics from such prominent publications as the New York Times, Variety, the Washington Post and the Chicago Times consistently overlooked the films’ anti-Semitic message, dubbing them harmless entertainment.

Hitler’s Secret Weapons 1933-1945

English | ISBN: 1906626758 | 2010 | 192 pages | PDF | 16 MB
The German Third Reich had the most technologically advanced and innovative weapons industries in World War II, with aircraft, tanks and bombs that could match and beat anything else in the World. What is less known is the extent of Germany’s secret weapons development. Germany pioneered rocket and jet-propelled aircraft, the pilotless plane, long-range rocket technology and ‘robot bombs’, and the world’s first super-heavy tanks. Many of these weapons had a real impact on the course of the war. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union and the realization that the war could continue for years, Hitler put great resources into the development of new and technologically advanced weaponry, in the belief that the production of ‘wonder weapons’ were the key to winning the war.

Sutton Publishing | 2003 | ISBN: 0750929278 | English | 272 pages | PDF | 213.48 MB
Originating in Hitler’s personal bodyguard, the Waffen-SS (armed SS) was expanded as a fourth branch of the Wehrmacht and became regarded as the tough elite of the German armed forces. Known as Hitler’s ‘Asphalt Soldiers’ they fought on all the main battle-fronts, but most notably in the East against the Soviet Union and in Normandy following ‘Overlord’. By the war’s end the Waffen-SS could boast almost forty field divisions manned by nearly one million troops. Gordon Williamson describes the organization, equipment, tactics and personalities of the Waffen-SS in the Second World War. A chronology outlines the major events in the history of the Waffen-SS from the founding of its forerunner, the SS-Verfugungstruppe, until May 1945. The author has traveled to Germany to interview numerous surviving former Waffen-SS soldiers and corresponded with many others, obtaining first-hand accounts of their wartime experiences. The handbook is illustrated with a rich selection of previously unpublished photographs, predominantly from private collections, ranging from studio posed shots to previously unpublished candid snaps and from battlefield pictures to war correspondent action shots.

Broken Icarus The 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, the Golden Age of Aviation, and the Rise of Fascism [Audiobook]


Free Download Broken Icarus: The 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, the Golden Age of Aviation, and the Rise of Fascism (Audiobook)
English | June 15, 2022 | ASIN: B0B192DK4G | M4B@128 kbps | 9h 3m | 509 MB
Author: David Hanna | Narrator: Karen Commins
The 1930s still conjure painful images: the great want of the Depression, and overseas, the exuberant crowds motivated by self-appointed national saviors dressing up old hatreds as new ideas. But there was another story that embodied mankind in that decade. In the same year that both Adolf Hitler and Franklin D. Roosevelt came to power, the city of Chicago staged what was, up to that time, the most forward-looking international exhibition in history. The 1933 World’s Fair looked to the future, unabashedly, as one full of glowing promise.
No technology loomed larger at the Fair than aviation. And no persons at the Fair captured the public’s interest as much as the romantic figures associated with it: Italy’s internationally renowned chief of aeronautics, Italo Balbo; German Zeppelin designer and captain, Doctor Hugo Eckener; and the husband-and-wife aeronaut team of Swiss-born Jean Piccard and Chicago-born Jeannette Ridlon Piccard.

2013 | 231 Pages | ISBN: 3110306522 | PDF | 10 MB
This book focuses on the relationship of Palestine-Germans with Arabs and Jews in the British Mandate of Palestine from 1933 to 1948/50: Young Germans marched through Haifa shouting Heil Hitler! and Swastika flags were hoisted at the German consulates. In 1931 a non-Jewish German made the initial contact with Nazi officials that led to the establishment of a miniature Third Reich with local Nazi groups. This is the first book in English on this bizarre footnote in history.

Free Download Hitlers Staatsfinanzen: Der Reichsrechnungshof 1933 bis 1945 von Hermann Dommach
Deutsch | 9. August 2019 | ISBN: 353440291X | True EPUB/PDF | 196 Seiten | 0.8/1.5 MB
Die zeitgeschichtliche Studie über Hitlers Staatsfinanzen befasst sich mit der bisher kaum beachteten Frage, welche Rolle der Reichsrechnungshof in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus spielte und wie der Reichsschatzmeister der NSDAP die staatliche Kontrolle der Parteifinanzen verhinderte. Da dem Rechnungshof während des Krieges die Auflösung drohte, konzentrierte er sich auf die von Hitler gewollte Korruptionsbekämpfung. Gleichzeitig mobilisierte er Personal der öffentlichen Verwaltung für den Fronteinsatz. Außerdem beteiligte sich der Rechnungshof an der Ausplünderung der besetzten Gebiete im Westen und Osten unter dem Vorwand, die Beute dem Reichsvermögen zuzuführen.
