The Third Reich in 100 Objects: A Material History of Nazi Germany

First book of its kind for the Third Reich and the Second World War to look at the wide range of objects associated with politics and everyday life. ‘An engaging and novel approach to a familiar history. Pleasingly comprehensive and accessible… highly recommended’ – Iron Cross magazine. Hitler’s Third Reich is still the focus of numerous articles, books and films: no regime of the twentieth century has prompted such a body of literature. Collated by one of the world’s leading historians of Nazi Germany and illustrated throughout, this book is an, compelling and revelatory guide to the Third Reich. Ranging from documents and postcards to weapons and personal effects, these objects include Pervitin, Hitler’s Mercedes, Hitler’s grooming kit, the Messerschmitt 262, the Luger pistol, the Tiger Tank, Eva Braun’s lipstick case, the underpants of Rudolf Hess, and, of course, the Swastika and Mein Kampf.
