Germany's War and the Holocaust both deepens our understanding of a crucial period in history and serves as an invaluable introduction to the vast body of literature in the field of Holocaust studies.Drawing on his background as a military historian to probe the nature of German warfare, Bartov considers the postwar myth of army resistance to Hitler and investigates the image of Blitzkrieg as a means to glorify war, debilitate the enemy, and hide the realities of mass destruction. The author also addresses several new analyses of the roots and nature of Nazi extermination policies, including revisionist views of the concentration camps. Finally, Bartov examines some paradigmatic interpretations of the Nazi period and its aftermath: the changing American, European, and Israeli discourses on the Holocaust; Victor Klemperer's view of Nazi Germany from within; and Germany's perception of its own victimhood.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)World War, 1939-1945GermanyWorld War, 1939-1945CampaignsEastern FrontAtrocitiesNational socialismHistoriographyWar crimesWorld War, 1939-1945AtrocitiesGermanyArmed ForcesHistoryWorld War, 1939-1945Electronic books.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)World War, 1939-1945World War, 1939-1945CampaignsAtrocities.National socialismHistoriography.War crimes.World War, 1939-1945Atrocities.940.53/18Bartov Omer309193MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453521403321Germany's war and the Holocaust2446689UNINA
