What do we really know about the forces that made Nazism so popular and dragged Germany, and then all of Europe, into a world war? What are the main beliefs and mythology of the Third Reich that arose from legends accepted by most Germans as indisputable truth? What, in fact, lay at the basis of these beliefs? What path have they traveled and what distortions have they undergone in order to ultimately lead humanity to the most terrible war in its history? What circumstances allowed the small and unpopular Nazi Party to seize power in Germany? How did Adolf Hitler, a World War I soldier and German secret police agent unknown to the German public, become the leader of Nazi Germany? The reader will find answers to these and other questions in this book.
