The Hitler Conspiracies: Secrets and Lies Behind the Rise and Fall of the Nazi Party

This book examines the intrigues and "backstairs" deals that allowed Hitler and the Nazi Party to gain power in Germany in 1933, and the often bloody political infighting that ensued following National Socialism's consolidation of power, such as the "Night of the Long Knives" in 1934. However, though Hitler strove to create a wholly centralized state, he did not silence all opposition. In Nazi Germany there were some Germans - members of the pre-Hitler elite, religious leaders, students and workers - who were willing to conspire against the regime. This book covers all these anti-Nazi movements in full, thus building into a thought provoking volume on the rise of the Nazis and the opposition to Hitler's tyrannical regime.
