Defying Hitler

Autor Sebastian Haffner Traducere de Oliver Pretzel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 aug 2026
Written in 1939 and unpublished until 2000, Sebastian Haffner's memoir of the rise of Nazism in Germany offers a unique portrait of the lives of ordinary German citizens between the wars. Covering 1907 to 1933, his eyewitness account provides a portrait of a country in constant flux: from the rise of the First Corps, the right-wing voluntary military force set up in 1918 to suppress Communism and precursor to the Nazi storm troopers, to the Hitler Youth movement; from the apocalyptic year of 1923 when inflation crippled the country to Hitler's rise to power. This fascinating personal history elucidates how the average German grappled with a rapidly changing society, while chronicling day-to-day changes in attitudes, beliefs, politics, and prejudices.

'If you have never read a book about Nazi Germany before, or if you have already read a thousand, I would urge you to read Defying Hitler. It sings with wisdom and understanding' DAILY MAIL

AN ORDINARY GERMAN'S MEMOIR OF HITLER'S RISE TO POWER

Born in Berlin in 1907, Sebastian Haffner came of age against the backdrop of a rapidly-changing Germany: an economy ravaged by the First World War, the radicalisation of political parties through the Weimar years, the fateful rise of Hitler's National Socialists. He watched as his peers were entranced by Nazi propaganda, even himself briefly feeling the pull of an ideology that promised purpose and pride in the face of nihilism and defeat.

Yet Haffner defied Nazism's promises and, as a political émigré, went on to author some of the century's most important studies of Hitler and the Nazis. This memoir - written in 1939 after his emigration to England, but only discovered after his death six decades later - is an astonishingly insightful portrait of that generation of Germans born in the first decade of the twentieth century who, in such large part, came to be seduced by Hitler and Nazism. Critically acclaimed around the world by scholars and readers alike, it is an invaluable record of a society on the precipice of catastrophe.

'An astonishingly effective and well-written explanation of how the Nazis managed so easily to exploit Germany's psychological weaknesses' ANTONY BEEVOR
