It purported that the German army did not lose the First World War but were betrayed by the civilians on the home front and the democratic politicians who had surrendered. The myth was one of the foundation myths of National Socialism, at times influencing Nazi behaviour in the 1930s and later their conduct in the Second World War.The Stab-in-the-Back Myth and the Fall of the Weimar Republic draws on German government records, foreign and domestic newspaper accounts, diplomatic reports, diary entries and letters to provide different national and political perspectives on the issue. The sourcebook also includes chapter summaries, study questions, and further reading lists, in addition to numerous visual sources and a range of maps, charts, tables and graphs. This is a vital text for all students looking at the history of the Weimar Republic, the legacy of the First World War and Germany in the 20th century."--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"A broad range of primary documents and visual sources exploring the Stab-in-the-Back myth, its role in the end of the Weimar Republic and its impact on the Nazi regime that followed"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPeace$vSources 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPolitical aspects$zGermany$vSources 606 $2European history 607 $aGermany$xHistory$y1918-1933$vSources 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1918-1933$vSources 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPeace 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPolitical aspects 676 $a943.085 702 $aSadler$b Mark R. 702 $aVascik$b George S. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820486303321 996 $aThe stab-in-the-back myth and the fall of the Weimar Republic$93917272 997 $aUNINA
