| Interest in the Third Reich is as intense as ever both in academic and popular spheres. The recent spate of films, documentaries and memoirs dealing with the Third Reich, plus numerous studies of its politics, society and everyday life all testify to the enduring fascination exerted by this period of modern history. In this book Dr Hillenbrand addresses an important feature of the social history of that time: underground opposition. He shows that not all Germans living under Hitler succumbed passively to the rhetoric and horror of the Nazi regime. Covert popular defiance in the form of humorous resistance was wider spread than is commonly thought. Embracing jokes, stories and 60 cartoons, this is the only collection in English of underground anti-Nazi humour. It is, as such, an invaluable contribution to modern European history. |
