The Nazi Seizure of Power
William Sheridan Allen · 1984 · 388 pages
Documents the localized democratic tactics that brought Naziism to power in one German town where the population was predominately Lutheran and the largest local employer was the Civil Service. Drawn from detailed archival dives and interviews with local residents, the well-written work is touted as a model microhistory.
