By Tony Le Tissier
Published March 2005 to mark the 60th
anniversary
of the end of the Second World War
Sixty years have elapsed since the cataclysmic
demise of Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich. In this book Tony Le Tissier (author
of Berlin Then and Now) traces the rise of Hitler, the Nazi Party and
its ramifications, together with its deeds and accomplishments, during the
twelve years that the Third Reich existed within today's boundaries of the
Federal Republics of Germany and Austria.
The homes — or sites of
them — of the dramatis personnae; the Nazi legends of their martyrs; the
sites of the former Third Reich shrines at the Obersalzberg; in Munich;
Nuremberg; Bayreuth, and in Berlin; the Hitler Youth schools and the Party
colleges; the 'euthanasia' killing centres; the concentration camps, and much
much more.
Tony then follows the progress of Hitler's war: from the
attack on Poland on September 1, 1939 to defeat in Berlin and the final round-up
at Flensburg in May 1945. A final chapter covers the de-Nazification of Germany,
the whole volume being illustrated by 'then and now' comparison photographs
which are the central theme of After the Battle.
