Overview
What you will study
- This Hitler and Nazi Germany course offered by University of Cambridge aims to give a general narrative of the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis, exploring why such a party could gain around 34% of the popular vote in 1932. We will look at the features of life in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1939, and the nature of resistance to the Nazis, before looking at the events which led to WW2 in 1939.
- The last two units will deal specifically with Nazi policies in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, in particular the ethnic cleansing of Poles and Russians in ‘a war of annihilation’ and the ways in which this created the context for the implementation of the ‘Final Solution of the Jewish Question.’
- There has also been a large amount of new research on the Nazis which has resulted in some impressive new histories and biographies from such people Robert Gerwarth, Ian Kershaw, Peter Longerich and Michael Burleigh, etc. Guiding students towards some of the excellent sources now available will be an important part of this course.
