Reviews
In this quirky survey of daily life in the Third Reich, Peukert, who teaches at the University of Essen, attempts to help readers "understand better a generation which it would be unjust (and unhelpful for learning lessons for the future) to condemn . . . ." The raw material he presentssuch as circulation statistics in libraries following the public book-burnings and a judge's official view of "negative human material" and what should be done about "it"is more useful to historians than to general readers. Although he discusses the origins of the Nazis' deadly enmity toward homosexuals and "the facists' stereotyped fantasies of violence," quoted citations make the deeper impression: Himmler's decree banishing "young swing fans" to a concentration camp, for example, or diary records of dreams by German citizens intent on avoiding conscious confrontation with the sinister effects of National Socialist policies.

If the German people did have conflicting opinions about the Nazis, how were their opposition, acquiescence, or endorsement exhibited? This book by Detlev Peukert is a survey of the complex experiences and attitudes of ordinary German people between 1933 and 1945. It records how people lived during this period, how they evaded or accepted the regime's demands, and where they positioned themselves along the spectrum between the frontlines, the sidelines, and the firing lines. Highly acclaimed in Germany when it was published in 1982, this social history of the Third Reich is now available for the first time in English. Peukert begins by discussing the rise of Nazism in the economic chaos of the Weimar Republic, the bases of popular consensus upholding Nazism, and the potency of the "Fuhrer myth." He then analyzes the nature of opposition in the Third Reich, as it was manifested by the middle class, the working class, and the youth of Germany. Peukert describes the ways in which art and culture served to consolidate a popular passive consensus in Nazism and how misapplied scientific principles were used as an excuse to discriminate against biologically defined groups. Finally he analyzes the socially cohesive function of terror directed at "social outsiders" such as gypsies and homosexuals. Throughout he argues that the Third Reich must not be viewed as a unique phenomenon but as a crisis of modemity~one pathological form of the development of modem industrial class society confronted by searing crisis.
