From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler's autocratic rule was the embodiment of Hitler himself. Hitler's main goal was to secure more "living space" for the German people. To achieve this "grand objective," he built an ultra-powerful military machine. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (Illustrated Edition) is a book written in chronological order, recording major events month by month from the beginning of Nazi Germany to its final collapse in May 1945. This chronological narrative method allows readers to clearly understand how Hitler and his government ruled the 80 million people of the Third Reich in the 1930s and 1940s, how they ultimately led the nation down the path of destruction, and how they eventually bled Europe's economy, destroyed its cities and villages.
