For most people who have not lived in Germany, the essence of Nazism remains a riddle. Americans, Russians, Frenchmen, and the British usually try to interpret it in terms of militarism, anti-Semitism, extreme nationalism, and imperialism. All these were elements in Nazism, yet they existed in other countries as well. I suspect that some of the obstacles to understanding are linguistic in character; for whenever one tries to describe and analyze what was unique in Nazism—the voelkisch ideology, the blood and soil doctrine, the whole Nordic hero myth—one runs into a language barrier and communication breaks down.

Finding Books

When you use a huge catalog like WorldCat, it's good to search using subject terms. Experiment with terms in the Subject Field (through the drop down menu in the Advanced Search) to see if they are actual terms, and to find like items using that term.

Use Subject Headings you know (word order must be exact!) If subject is a name, last name first.  Note exceptions for medieval geographical and honorific names.  When searching for a concept or phrase, use quotation marks, such as "meaning of life".  This is also true when searching the exact title of a book: "Gone with the wind".

For topical subject headings, elements must be in exact order.  Examples:

Edelweisspiraten (Resistance Groups) -- Biography

Anti-Nazi Movement -- Personal Narratives
