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. 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zGermany 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zEastern Front$xAtrocities 606 $aNational socialism$xHistoriography 606 $aWar crimes 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAtrocities 607 $aGermany$xArmed Forces$xHistory$yWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$xAtrocities. 615 0$aNational socialism$xHistoriography. 615 0$aWar crimes. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAtrocities. 676 $a940.53/18 700 $aBartov$b Omer$0309193 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791086303321 996 $aGermany's war and the Holocaust$93779603 997 $aUNINA
