Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Tables and Figures -- Acknowledgements -- Abbreviations and Glossary -- Map of Saxony -- Introduction: The Fall of the Berlin Wall and its Link with Nazism -- Chapter 1: From ‘Red’ Kingdom to Brown Dictatorship: Saxony from Kaiserreich to Nazism -- Chapter 2: ‘Only a National Socialist Government Can Create Healthy and Orderly Conditions.’ Economic Crisis, Propaganda and Popular Politics -- Chapter 3: ‘Forward into the Working-Class Districts!’ The Brownshirts in ‘Red’ Saxony -- Chapter 4: ‘Vote for Whom You Want, but Do Not Vote for the Left!’ The Nationalist Milieu and the Nazis -- Chapter 5: ‘Germans Unite!’ The Nazis and Their Constituency -- Conclusion: ‘Fertile Soil and Unfriendly Desert.’ The Nazi Experience in Saxony -- Appendix: Selected Documents -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: Most studies on the spread of Nazism in German society before and after 1933 concentrate on the country's western parts. As a result, so the author claims, our overall picture of the situation has been distorted since the eastern areas contained a substantial portion of the population. Neglecting them means that all generalizations about the Nazi period require further testing. This first comprehensive study of Saxony therefore fills a large gap, also in light of the fact that Saxony was one of the most industrialized German regions. It deals with problems of continuity and change in German society during three distinct phases: constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy, and dictatorship. The author shows convincingly that it was deep-rooted local traditions that determined the success or failure of Nazism among the local population.
