Hitler's heralds: The story of the Freikorps, 1918-1923

Europe

John Murray

<p>A Brief History of the Birth of the Nazis is a timely and concise history of the Freikorps, the voluntary paramilitary groups that dominated German political life from the abdication of the Kaiser in 1918 to Hitler’s Beerhall Putsch of 1923. Theirs is an often overlooked story of political intrigue and murder. Raised in the chaotic aftermath of war, the Freikorps were composed mostly of veteran soldiers, embittered and out of place in civilian life, and young, right-wing students determined to crush those forces who had “betrayed” their homeland. First used by the Social Democrats in power to defeat their enemies on the extreme left in Berlin and Bavaria, they soon launched a counteroffensive in which the Freikorps all but overturned the State in their attempt to set up a full-blown Fascist military government. Once thwarted, however, the disgruntled Freikorps embarked on a campaign of political murder; their leaders retired briefly to Bavaria, where they came under the influence of the little-known but rising political agitator Adolf Hitler. The ideology of the Friekorps was adopted, almost unmodified, by the Nazis, who, fittingly, marked their arrival in 1934 with the massacre of many former Freikorps members.

A Brief History of the Birth of the Nazis: How the Freikorps Blazed a Trail for Hitler

Carroll&Graf

Oswald Mosley was Britain's failed Führer. His political career began brilliantly - he was the youngest MP of his day - but his attraction to fascism led him to found the notorious  'Blackshirts': the British Union of Fascists, secretly funded by Mussolini but increasingly influenced by the Nazis. Released from jail after the war, Mosley tried to restart his movement from exile, attacking Britain's new immigrants and advocating a united white Europe. This is the first independent biography of Mosley since Robert Skidelsky's in 1975 and makes full use of recent research into British fascism. Race, nation and political violence are urgent issues throughout Europe today; Nigel Jones's analysis of Mosley's appeal, and his failure, is vital reading.
