Description
The Fateful Alliance: German Conservatives and Nazis in 1933 In January 1933, a coalition government was formed between the conservative German National People's Party and the Nazi Party, paving the way for Adolf Hitler's rise to power. This book offers a fresh perspective on the Machtergreifung, the period of all-pervasive violence and lawlessness that marked the Nazi seizure of power. The author examines the complex relationship between conservatives and Nazis, revealing a period of intense conflict and violence between the two groups. The book sheds new light on the Nazi attacks on the conservative Bürgertum, a far cry from the traditional depiction of the takeover as a relatively bloodless assumption of power. By analyzing the revolutionary character of the Nazi seizure of power, the book also explores why the DNVP was complicit in this process and how it ultimately eroded its own principles and bases of support.
