Description
Berlin: Capital of the Reich. In the heyday of the Weimar Republic, Berlin's streets were overrun by communist gangs, while the SA-Men rose to power in other parts of Germany. The city was a battleground, with only the bravest willing to set foot in its working-class neighborhoods. The story of the SA's rise to prominence is told through the eyes of a humble worker, who witnessed their struggle to retake the Red City from barroom brawls to street demonstrations. With charismatic leader Dr. Goebbels at the helm, the Berlin NSDAP transformed from a handful of men in a dingy cellar into a formidable fighting force. First published in 1933, Conquering Berlin was banned in the Soviet occupation zone and its author died in a prison camp in Lithuania. Now available in English for the first time, this historical account offers a unique perspective on one of Germany's most tumultuous periods.
