Anthony James Gregor - National Socialism and race
This serious look at the racial policies of the 3rd Reich explains how the vague ideas of Adolf Hitler in the early years of his political struggle developed in the 1930s into an exaggerated obsession with Nordicism. This occured quite separately and with the disapproval of many of the National Socialist leaders. By the late1930s a far more rational view became official policy. The entire history of these developments are explained by Dr Gregor. What is important about this work is that it refutes the silly media and propaganda allegations by the court historians and demolishes all the lurid tales of "Blond beasts" and "Master races". Over 100 footnotes are provided giving references and sources.
