About the author

Felix Berge, University of the Bundeswehr, Munich, Germany.

Summary

Informal communication shaped German society during World War II. Information could be a source of sovereignty, function as a means of survival, or generate anxiety. Historian Felix Berge examines how rumors and news were compiled, appropriated, and disseminated outside the official media and propaganda channels, reveling how Germans spoke about their hopes and fears, their experiences and expectations, crimes, and the Holocaust.
