In this groundbreaking new work, Roger Moorhouse, a leading researcher of the history of Nazi Germany, presents us with a new approach to the period of the Third Reich.
His work relates what he has to say to a hundred subjects: he deals with a diverse set of topics and covers all segments of the history of the Third Reich, from the now abundantly discussed topics of the Holocaust and the war to such little-known areas as social policy, technical developments, or the practice of propaganda.
The author chooses from a wide range of objects, and the result is comprehensive and thought-provoking: documents and postcards, but also weapons and personal aspects, do not escape his attention. He writes about Hitler's mustache brush, the Messerschmitt 262, Pervitin, the Tiger tank, the Luger parabellum, Eva Braun's lipstick box, Rudolf Hess's underpants, the cyanide capsule with which Hermann Göring poisoned himself - and of course the swastika and Mein Kampf.
100 talking points from the Third Reich connects the known and little-known facts, explains them in an engaging way, and helps its reader to gain a deeper understanding of this vital topic.
