Divide between North and South. Between Catholic and Prussian Protestant. Among South German Catholics, the higher up the ranks of nobility the deeper the antipathy to the Nazis. Similar but not to the same extent among Catholic nobles in the Rhineland and Westphalia. Among the Northern protestant nobility general support for the Nazis and the lower down the line the the more intense the support: especially in Pommerania, Ost Preussen, and for those who hoped to gain from the Ausraumungen im Osten. Also shows how the various associations of nobles in their efforts to curry favour with Nazis evacuated the entire concept of "noble" and replaced it with mere racial purist notions. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In the mountain of books that have been written about the Third Reich, surprisingly little has been said about the role played by the German nobility in the Nazis' rise to power. While often confidently referred to, the "fateful" role played by the German nobility is rarely, if ever,investigated in any real detail. Nazis and Nobles now fills this gap, providing the first systematic investigation of the role played by the nobility in German political life between Germany's defeat in the First World War in 1918 and the consolidation of Nazi power in the 1930s.As Stephan Malinowski shows, the German nobility was too weak to prevent the German Revolution of 1918 but strong enough to take an active part in the struggle against the Weimar Republic. In a real twist of historical irony, members of the nobility were as prominent in the destruction of Weimardemocracy as they were to be years later in Graf Stauffenberg's July 1944 bomb plot against Hitler. In this skilful portrait of an aristocratic world that was soon to disappear, Malinowski gives us for the first time the in-depth story of the German nobility's social decline and politicalradicalization in the inter-war years - and the troubled mesalliance to which this was to lead between the majority of Germany's nobles and the National Socialists.
