Policies of Genocide (Rle Nazi Germany & Holocaust) - Jews and Soviet Prisoners of War in Nazi Germany

Informationen zum Autor Gerhard Hirschfeld, Wolfgang J. Mommsen Klappentext One of the darkest passages in German history is examined in this book (originally published in 1986) by five leading German historians of the Third Reich. The authors establish that a direct link existed between the widespread deaths of Soviet prisoners of war and the extermination of Jews and implicate the German army in the policies of genocide to a far greater degree than was previously thought. The situation of the inmates of camps is analysed and evidence provided of resistance action even among those facing death.
