HIST 24400 The Nazi State

GE-Human Culture: Foreign Culture/Human Diversity How did a group of people with ideas that were considered extreme come to power in a civilized country? How did they overthrow the political system itself? How did they drag much of the world into a war that few people wanted? Hermann Goering asserted that “It is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along….All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.” You will consider this and more as you study the history of the Nazi state and how their past affects Germany today.
