Paul Weindling's book has not received the recognition it deserves in the United States, and we Americans are at the losing end because of this. This book, albeit long and in very small type, is a goldmine of insight into the generation that grew up into leading the Third Reich. The book provides ample documentation on the various political movements that those key scientists and political thinkers that would be instrumental in shaping Hitler's "eugenic state" were doing as they grew up emotionally and intellectually.
Fortunatly/Unfortunatly you will not be done even after finishing this book. Weindling has more for you, which unfortunately is also difficult to find in the United States. I think I have seen this and several other books by Weindling go for as much as $300 as "rare" books despite the fact they were recently printed.
Bottom line is if you are perplexed by the fact that the Third Reich was in many ways one of the first major governments to adopt environmentalism, animal rights, organic gardening, and other movements, then Weindling's book will certainly provide the answer. However, I would also suggest that the reader also pick up the
The Nazi War on Cancer
and
Art, Ideology, and Economics in Nazi Germany: The Reich Chambers of Music, Theater, and the Visual Arts
and you will have a truly in-depth understanding of Hitler's Germany.
