Stormtroopers

- A New History of Hitler's Brownshirts

Bag om Stormtroopers

The first full history of the Nazi Stormtroopers whose muscle brought Hitler to power, with revelations concerning their longevity and their contributions to the Holocaust Germany's Stormtroopers engaged in a vicious siege of violence that propelled the National Socialists to power in the 1930s. Known also as the SA or Brownshirts, these "ordinary" men waged a loosely structured campaign of intimidation and savagery across the nation from the 1920s to the "Night of the Long Knives" in 1934, when Chief of Staff Ernst Röhm and many other SA leaders were assassinated on Hitler's orders. In this deeply researched history, Daniel Siemens explores not only the roots of the SA and its swift decapitation but also its previously unrecognized transformation into a million-member Nazi organization, its activities in German-occupied territories during World War II, and its particular contributions to the Holocaust. The author provides portraits of individual members and their victims and examines their milieu, culture, and ideology. His book tells the long-overdue story of the SA and its devastating impact on German citizens and the fate of their country.

Brugerbedømmelser af Stormtroopers

  • Preben N. 14. marts 2021

    En særdeles spændende bog skrevet af den britiske historiker Daniel Siemens. Bogen er det første videnskabelige værk (450 s.) om de paramilitære enheder, SA, (Sturmabeteilung), der var med til at bringe Adolf Hitler og nationalsocalismen til magten i 1933. Man får et glimrende indblik i det Tyskland - Weimar-republikken - hvor ikke kun nazisterne havde deres egne militser, men også kommunisterne (RFB - Roter Frontkämpferbund) socialdemokraterne (Reichsbanner) og de liberal-konservative Højre (Stahlhelm). Bogen kræver nok nogen viden om Tyskland 1919-33, da den ellers er for vanskelig tilgængelige, men for i forvejen interesserede, helt enkelt en guldgrube.
