This book tells the story of their lives and, in so doing, offers a new history of twentieth-century Germany, as experienced and made by ordinary human beings.On the basis of sixty-two oral-history interviews, this book shows how this generation was shaped psychologically by a series of historically engendered losses over the course of the century. In response, this generation turned to the collective to repair the losses it had suffered, most fatefully to the community of the "Volk" during the Third Reich, a racial collective to which this generation was passionately committed and which was at the heart of National Socialism and its popular appeal.New directions in narrative history.GermansEthnic identityNational socialismOral historyGermanyWorld War, 1914-1918GermanyWorld War, 1939-1945GermanyGermanyHistory20th centuryGermanySocial conditions20th centuryGermansEthnic identity.National socialism.Oral historyWorld War, 1914-1918World War, 1939-1945943.087HIS014000HIS037070HIS054000bisacshKohut Thomas August1593541MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823521203321A German generation3913728UNINA
