While Allied propaganda would have us believe that during the Second World War the German population were downtrodden workers, with no rights and totally under the power and influence of the all-controlling Gestapo, the truth is somewhat different. While the Allies saw Hitler as an evil to be removed from power, in 1933 the German people saw him as a savior, able to rescue them from the humiliation of Versailles and provide a strong leader. The German people themselves felt that they had social benefits unmatched by their neighboring states, and that its poverty had been eliminated while their economy had been stabilized. James Lucas presents fascinating insight into the real Reich, a glimpse into the life on the German home front. After many years' research and interviews with civilians and German soldiers, Lucas offers a study of the social, economic and military phenomena of the Nazi regime.
