4.0 out of 5 stars
an excellent analysis of German public opinion,
By
This review is from: The Germans and the Final Solution: Public Opinion Under Nazism (Jewish Society and Culture) (Paperback)
Bankier has written a trustworthy book about German responses to Nazi antisemitism and propaganda, and the effect of public opinion on the German leadership during World War II. Many books discuss the psychology of persecution in Nazi Germany. Two good ones are Sereny's Into That Darkness and Brown's Ordinary Men. The particular strength of Bankier's book is its breadth of sources. The author draws on, among other sources, regional Gestapo reports, Allied Intelligence Reports and contemporanious observations in letters and diaries. Another strength is its analysis. Bankier certainly holds the Germans accountable. His analysis is profound but it may surprise you by shaking your pre-conceived beliefs. I was especially impressed by his discussion of the wide-spread knowledge in Germany of the "final solution", and Bankier's fascinating analysis of the public reaction to this knowledge.
