THE PROBLEM
HISTORICAL APPROACHES
YOUR CHALLENGE

3. THE PROBLEM
“How did a former corporal get unquestioning
obedience from field marshals? In a land filled
with talented intelligent individuals, how did
such a “zero” person whose only unquestionable
gift was appealing to the baser instincts of the
lower sorts of people, rise to the highest
office?” (Kershaw, p.xii)This course will look at
both Hitler and his adopted countrymen as we
try to solve this puzzle.

4. HISTORICAL APPROACHES

8. HITLER HISTORIOGRAPHY
HE WASN’T A DEMON
HE WASN’T MAD
”NOT ONLY THAT, HE HAD VERY
CONSIDERABLE INTELLECTUAL
TALENTS. HE WAS ALSO
COURAGEOUS, SELF-ASSURED, ON
MANY OCCASIONS STEADFAST,
LOYAL TO HIS FRIENDS & TO THOSE
WORKING FOR HIM, SELF-
DISCIPLINED & MODEST IN HIS
PHYSICAL WANTS...GOD GAVE
HITLER MANY TALENTS &
STRENGTHS; & THAT IS WHY HE IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSING
THEM”(LUKACS, P. 44)

9. SIR IAN KERSHAW
(1943-
LANCASHIRE, SON OF
AN R.A.F. MECHANIC
PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
UNIV OF LIVERPOOL,
MEDIAVALIST
“Stunned by an aging
Nazi's remark that quot;the Jew
is a lousequot;, he decided to do
some research on the social
history of the Nazism.” BBC

10. quot;I can't tell you how happy I was when that bullet finally
went through that bloke's [Hitler’s]head,quot; he quipped.
There is no doubt that millions would agree with him
