Abstract

Germany After Hitler

Motherwell, Hiram | January 30, 1943 issue

add to cart close window

What Germany will be like on armistice day is something for which imagination has no precedent. This time will be radically different from last time. Germany on armistice day will be a social shambles comparable only to the anarchy of the dark ages. The German social structure of 1918 was devastated by fire. That of 1942, by the time total defeat comes, will have been blasted by dynamite, shattered not only by war but by Hitler's own hand. The elements of German social stability which persisted throughout World War I and emerged more or less intact when fighting ceased included the political parties. These, though sometimes changing their labels, continued to represent substantially the interests they had promoted in 1914.
