In this exhaustive study, Stephan Lehnstaedt provides a nuanced, eye-opening portrait of the lives of these men and women, who constituted a surprisingly diverse population—including everyone from SS officers to civil servants, as well as ethnically German city residents—united in its self-conception as a “master race.” Even as they acclimated to the daily routines and tedium of life in the East, many Germans engaged in acts of shocking brutality against Poles, Belarusians, and Jews, while social conditions became increasingly conducive to systematic mass murder.World War, 1939-1945Social aspectsPolandWarsawWorld War, 1939-1945Social aspectsBelarusMinskGermansPolandWarsawHistory20th centuryGermansBelarusMinskHistory20th centuryPolandHistoryOccupation, 1939-1945BelarusHistoryGerman occupation, 1941-1944Warsaw (Poland)History20th centuryMinsk (Belarus)History20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945Social aspectsWorld War, 1939-1945Social aspectsGermansHistoryGermansHistory940.53/43841Lehnstaedt Stephan1980-929320dbmedia,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792728303321Occupation in the East3776888UNINA
