Abstract

Hitlerism and How It Grew

The article provides information on the book "A History of National Socialism," by Konard Heiden. According to the author, it is quiet incomprehensible that serious Germany, usually so thorough in political affairs, arrived so late and then only in a partisan, propagandist sense, at anything like an intelligent evaluation of the National Socialist movement, which was destined in a few short years to play so important and tragic a role in the life of the German people. To some extent this may explain the failure of the German labor movement to credit its opponent with serious potentialities. The non-German reader is here given an opportunity for the first time to study the development of this peculiar movement as seen by an unprejudiced German's eye.
