-No one knows more about the Third Reich than Roger Moorhouse. He

has chosen fascinating objects that expose the poisonous reality of

Hitler-s Germany.’-

DAN SNOW

-Every political religion requires its icons and Nazism exemplified this.

Art, artefacts and symbols mattered enormously to Hitler and his

henchmen, who were selling an idea, a faith, as much as a political

programme. This fascinating and beautifully illustrated book by a

leading expert on the Nazis sums up the Third Reich in a brilliant and

highly accessible way.-

ANDREW ROBERTS

-A fascinating kaleidoscope. These 100 objects are the icons of Nazi

Germany.-

SO?NKE NEITZEL

-From the bizarre to the sinister; a novel and informative way of

describing Nazi Germany.-
