Description
The role of the German nobility in the Nazi regime has long been a subject of fascination and neglect. Stephan Malinowski sheds new light on this aspect of German history, revealing the complex and often contradictory relationship between the nobility and the National Socialists. Between the end of World War I and the consolidation of Nazi power, the German nobility played a significant role in the struggle against the Weimar Republic. This period saw a decline in the social status of the nobility, leading to a shift towards radical politics. Malinowski's book provides a detailed account of this transformation, exploring the tensions between the nobility and the National Socialists. The result is a nuanced portrait of an aristocratic world in crisis, and the troubled alliance that emerged between the nobility and the National Socialists.
