Hitler's True Believers: How Ordinary People Became Nazis Free Audiobook Download by Robert Gellately

How many people were involved in Hitler's rise to power? What were their motivations? Were they recruited by the Nazi party or did they just happen to be around at the time? If a person was motivated by racism and anti-Semitism, would that make them part of the Nazi movement? These are some of the questions that Gellately tackles in his book. He reveals how Hitler became so powerful and why he attracted such a large following.

The title of the book is Hitler's True Believers: How Ordinary People Became Nazis. The narrator, ['Paul Heitsch'], tells us how ordinary people throughout Germany and Austria became part of Hitler's movement. The book begins by telling us about the rise of Nazism and becoming a follower of Hitler in the 1920s. All you need is hatred for all that is good, was Hitler's slogan. For example, one woman joins in because she doesn't like Jews; another because he wants to kill communists; and still others join just because they want to fight against other countries. A lot of these people who become followers were angry or suspicious people with prejudices who saw an opportunity to spread their hate through Hitler.

Some people have a difficult time understanding the connection between Adolf Hitler's rise to power and ordinary people. This audiobook explains that there was nothing special about Hitler or his followers. They were just like everyone else - they were duped by bad ideas and propaganda.

The Nazi Party was a political party which hated the Jews and other groups of people. They pursued Hitler's beliefs about an Aryan master race and used that hatred to create propaganda which made them stronger. The book talks about the background of Germany before Hitler, how he came to power in 1933, and what happened after his fall from power in 1945

This is a great book to read for people interested in the history of Nazi Germany. It's about how ordinary German citizens, who were not members of the Nazi Party before Hitler became dictator, came to support the Nazis' agenda. It's very interesting because it doesn't just focus on people who joined the party, but also those that didn't. This audiobook download is narrated by Paul Heitsch and was translated from German into English.

In Hitler's True Believers, scholar Robert Gellately presents a new way of understanding the Third Reich. He argues that Nazism was not just a political ideology, but an all-encompassing way of life in which Nazi believers saw their utopia as inevitable. Gellately demonstrates how ordinary people came to embrace Nazism and its vision with ease, often in the absence of any history or knowledge.
