| Summary: | Despite books such as William Sheridan Allen’s classic The Nazi Seizure of Power: The Experience of a Single German Town and Ian Kershaw’s Popular Opinion and Political Dissent in the Third Reich: Bavaria 1933–1945, we still know far more about macro-politics in Germany during the 1930s than we do about developments at the local level. Andrew Stuart Bergerson tries to fill in some of this gap, intending Ordinary Germans in Extraordinary Times to “serve as both a classic history of the Nazi revolution as well as a cultural history of everyday life.” The author hopes that his volume will appeal “to both popular and academic readers; to German historians and Holocaust scholars” (Preface). Unfortunately both subtitle and preface promise more than the book delivers. |
