It Can't Happen Here,
By Aikos (NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Berlin Alexanderplatz: Radio, Film, and the Death of Weimar Culture (Weimar and Now: German Cultural Criticism) (Paperback)
This book demonstrates the veto-power the Nazis had BEFORE Hitler seized power after being appointed to Chancellor. Alexander Doblin's (very long) novel--Berlin Alexanderplatz-- was made into both a radio play and a film.What surprised me was the degree to which Nazis could disrupt films via threatening theatregoers, stinkbombs, heckling and more during films; to the degree that theatre-owners would choose a path of lesser resistance and show something else. It's not so much a popular book, as opposed to Erik Larsen's In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin, which is #52 on the Amazon list, 8 months after it came out. This is esp. targeted for those who have a sense of German history in the 20's, or are interested in the Doblin's book, or perhaps the dynamics of fascism creeps into power. |
