Disgrifiad cryno

This module considers the characteristics of the Nazi regime and explores the impact of Nazism on Germany’s state and society, as well as the Second World War and the Holocaust. It explores questions relating to power and leadership, the role of the Nazi party and its ideology and the nature of terror and compliance in the regime. Before the Nazi seizure of power, the German state had appeared weak, and society had been deeply divided along lines of social class, political culture, religion and region. The Nazis promised to create a Volksgemeinschaft: a harmonious community of the people. How they set about their self-appointed task, and whether they succeeded, are at the heart of this module.
