Germany Turns Eastwards: A Study of Ostforschung in the Third Reich (Hardcover)

This book offers a comprehensive review and analysis of Germany’s obsession with its ever more radical drive to eastern Europe. Burleigh debunks the theory that Hitler was the ideological source of Germany’s need for living space by explaining that the 19th century imperialists and geopolitical theorists were largely responsible for the tragedy that unfolded in Eastern Europe under the Imperial and then the Nazi government. This book is full of historical doctrine leading to and including the invasion of the Eastern countries. The book lacks no details from a political stance of why Germany invaded its Eastern neighbors.
