Description
This is a study of rural social relationships in the eastern Prussian provinces during the Weimar Republic. Using the province of Pomerania as its primary example, Baranowski assesses the contributions of rural elites, particularly Junker landlords and Protestant clergymen, to the rise of National Socialism in a region where the rural electorate's attraction to the Hitler movement became crucial to the Nazi takeover in 1933.
Reviews / Votes
a readable, well-researched and informative study of a neglected area * E.D.R. Harrison, University of Salford, Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 48, No. 2, April '97 * Her carefully researched study, based on a wealth of widely dispersed archival source material, newspapers and memoirs, amounts to a powerful indictment of the Pomeranian Junkers and their willingness to join hands with the Nazis in areas where they perceived common aims ... her book is an intriguing and convincing argument, written in an accessible and clear style, which offers fascinating insights into the 'partial symbiosis' (p11) between National Socialism and Junkerdom in the final years of the Weimer Republic. * Stefan Berger, University of Wales, Cardiff, EHR Nov 97 *More details
