Wegbereiter Hitlers? Theodor Reismann-Grone
Theodor Reismann-Grone war zusammen mit Alfred Hugenberg Gründer des Alldeutschen Verbandes, der 'Speerspitze' des völkischen Nationalismus im Kaiser-reich. Bis in den Ersten Weltkrieg hinein blieb er einer seiner einflussreichsten Exponenten. Auch der junge Hitler rezipierte seine antisemitisch-imperialistischen Schriften. Als Publizist und Zeitungsverleger führte Reismann-Grone nach 1918 einen erbitterten Kampf gegen die Weimarer Republik. Seine Blätter zählten zu den radikalsten der bürgerlichen Rechten im Reich. 1933 wurde er der erste NS-Oberbürgermeister der Stadt Essen. In dieser Funktion sorgte er für die Vertreibung Paul Klees aus Deutschland. 1937 musste er wegen einer Steueraffäre zurücktreten. Stefan Frech legt nun die erste Biographie dieses 'Wegbereiters Hitlers' (wie er selbst sich sah) vor. Der Autor konnte auf einen einmaligen Quellenbestand zurückgreifen, schrieb doch Reismann-Grone sein Leben lang Tagebücher. Frech gelingt es, mit seiner Biographie exemplarisch die Kontinuitäten und Brüche in der Geschichte des bürgerlichen radikal völkisch-antisemitischen Nationalismus vom Kaiserreich bis ins 'Dritte Reich' aufzuzeigen, die ideologischen Gemeinsamkeiten mit dem Nationalsozialismus ebenso wie die sozial und generationsbedingten Spannungen zwischen den 'alten' und den 'neuen' Völkischen.
Hitler: Ascent
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This landmark biography of Hitler puts an emphasis on the man himself: his personality, his temperament, and his beliefs. “[A] fascinating Shakespearean parable about how the confluence of circumstance, chance, a ruthless individual and the willful blindness of others can transform a country — and, in Hitler’s case, lead to an unimaginable nightmare for the world.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Volker Ullrich's Hitler, the first in a two-volume biography, has changed the way scholars and laypeople alike understand the man who has become the personification of evil. Drawing on previously unseen papers and new scholarly research, Ullrich charts Hitler's life from his childhood through his experiences in the First World War and his subsequent rise as a far-right leader. Focusing on the personality behind the policies, Ullrich creates a vivid portrait of a man and his megalomania, political skill, and horrifying worldview. Hitler is an essential historical biography with unsettling resonance in contemporary times.
German Expansionism, Imperial Liberalism and the United States, 1776–1945

This book traces the importance of the United States for German colonialism from the late eighteenth century to 1945, focusing on American westward expansion and racial politics. Jens-Uwe Guettel argues that from the late eighteenth century onward, ideas of colonial expansion played a very important role in liberal, enlightened and progressive circles in Germany, which, in turn, looked across the Atlantic to the liberal-democratic United States for inspiration and concrete examples. Yet following a pre-1914 peak of liberal political influence on the administration and governance of Germany's colonies, the expansionist ideas embraced by Germany's far-right after the country's defeat in the First World War had little or no connection with the German Empire's liberal imperialist tradition - for example, Nazi plans for the settlement of conquered Eastern European territories were not directly linked to pre-1914 transatlantic exchanges concerning race and expansionism.
