“Insightful commentary on the tangible relics of the Third
Reich . . . Tells the history of the Nazi regime from a fascinating
new perspective” (Military History Monthly). Hitler’s Third
Reich is covered in countless books and films: no conflict of the
twentieth century has prompted such interest or such a body of
literature. Here, two leading World War II historians offer a new way
to look at the subject—through objects that come from this time and
place, much like a museum exhibit. The photographs gathered by the
authors represent subjects including the methamphetamine known as
Pervitin, Hitler’s Mercedes, jackboots, concentration camp badges, a
1932 election poster, Wehrmacht mittens, Hitler’s grooming kit, the
Tiger Tank, fragments of flak, and, of course, the swastika and Mein
Kampf, among dozens more—along with informative text that sheds new
light on both the objects themselves and the history they represent.
