The "Hitler myth" : image and reality in the Third Reich
Kershaw, Ian
The "Hitler myth" : image and reality in the Third Reich Ian Kershaw - Oxford Oxford University Press, 1987 - xii, 299 p. 23 cm.
Includes bibliographies and index
Demonstrates how the manufactured Führer cult formed a crucial integrating force in the Third Reich and a vital element in the attainment of Nazi political aims. Masters of the new techniques of propaganda, the Nazis used them to exploit and build on the beliefs, phobias, and prejudices of the day. The admiration of the German people rested less on the bizarre and arcane precepts of Nazi ideology than on social and political values recognizable in many societies other than the Third Reich.
