Jung's Evolving Views of Nazi Germany: From the Nazi Takeover to the End of World War II

Jung's Evolving Views of Nazi Germany: From the Nazi Takeover to the End of World War II describes for the first time Jung's views of Nazi Germany during the whole period from the Nazi takeover in 1933 to the end of World War II. It brings together the authors' research in archives and primary sources during the past 10 years.
It is untenable to hold that Jung was a "Nazi sympathizer" after Nazi Germany's first year. In spring 1934 he entered into a transition during which he became warier of the Nazis and of statements that might be construed as anti-Semitic. From 1934 to 1939 he became increasingly warier of the Nazis. His views were strongly anti-Nazi in relation to events during World War II.
