The German Opposition to Hitler: An Appraisal

by Hans Rothfels, Lawrence Wilson (Translator)

Overview

More than a study of resistance among the upper ranks, author Hans Rothfels examines the unprecedented totalitarian state, armed with mid-20th century modern weapons, science, and industry.
Professor Rothfels illustrates the true extent of the German resistance, its composition, aim, and the nature of its intent. He also considers the whole question of the moral and practical problems involved in opposing a totalitarian regime.

About the Author

HANS ROTHFELS (12 April 1891 - 22 June 1976) was a nationalist conservative German historian. He supported an idea of authoritarian German state, dominance of Germany over Europe and was hostile to Germany's eastern neighbours. After his applications for honorary Aryan status were rejected, due to his Jewish ancestry and increased persecution of Jewish people by Nazis, he was forced to emigrate to Great Britain and later to the United States during the Second World War, after which he became opposed to the Nazi regime. Rothfels returned to West Germany after 1945 where he continued to influence history teaching and became an influential figure among West German scholars. He died in Tübingen in 1976, aged 85.
LAWRENCE PATRICK ROY WILSON was an English translator of a number of German works, including Flying Is My Life (1954) by Hanna Reitsch; As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me (1957) by Josef Martin Bauer; Himalaya Adventure (1957) by Fritz Kolb; and Pastor Niemoeller (1959) by Dietmar Schmidt. He died in 1983.
