- Summary:
- "Seeing Hitler's Germany" is the first fully researched, wide-ranging study of commercial tourism during the Third Reich. The book demonstrates how effectively the Nazi regime coordinated all German tourism organizations. By investigating a range of "normal" experiences--such as taking a tour, visiting a popular sightseeing attraction, reading a guidebook or sending a postcard--"Seeing Hitler's Germany" deepens our understanding of the popular legitimization of Nazi rule.
