Contents/Summary

Summary

Detlef Mühlberger's work Hitler's Voice: The "Völkischer Beobachter," 1920-1933 is an important addition to the study of National Socialism. In today's scholarship, it is difficult to locate a detailed work on National Socialism that does not rely in some way on the Völkischer Beobachter: it was truly the bullhorn of the party from the time when the National Socialists were no more than a small group of unknowns gathering at the Munich Bürgerbräukeller until they gained power in 1933. Considering the vast amount of literature on National Socialism, however, it is surprising that until now, there have only been shorter articles and two dissertations and not a single comprehensive analysis of the newspaper.[1] Mühlberger's translation of articles from the Völkischer Beobachter addresses this lacuna. He has sifted through eleven years of the paper, condensing them into two volumes. His first volume gives a chronological account of the development and organization of the party until 1933 while the shorter second volume, entitled Nazi Ideology and Propaganda, examines topical issues such as attacks against the Weimar Republic, racism, and attempts by the party to garner support from workers, farmers, and the German Mittelstand.
