The Third Reich in 100 Objects (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

"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.
