Nazi Volksgemeinschaft Technology

Autor John C. Guse
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 oct 2023
This book traces how Gottfried Feder and Fritz Todt made technology essential to the Nazi ‘world view’. They groomed engineers with a racist technical ideology that prepared them to later supervise slave labor and the Holocaust. Their concepts evolved from völkisch technocracy to an idealized harmony of man, machine and nature, and were eclipsed by Albert Speer’s total war. Partially due to willing ‘self-coordination’ from engineers, they gained political control over the engineering profession. Destined to be pillars of the Volksgemeinschaft, engineers were indoctrinated with Nazi principles of Aryan superiority at the Reich School of Technology, the Plassenburg. Nazi propaganda announced a bright future through technology, furthering a sense of normalcy in Germany, despite the ruthless exclusion of those unwanted.

Recenzii

“... Insgesamt bietet Guse die bis heute beste und umfassendste Analyse der NS-Technikideologie. Er hat – bis auf wenige Ausnahmen – nicht nur den aktuellen Forschungsstand, sondern auch weitere umfängliche Quellenbestände ausgewertet. Guse demaskiert Fritz Todt als Mittäter Hitlers und liefert damit einen überaus wertvollen Beitrag zur politischen Bildung der Ingenieure heute – vor allem auch im Kontext der aktuellen politischen Entwicklungen.” (Helmut Maier, in: H-Soz-Kult, hsozkult.de, 13. Juni, 2024)

“… Insgesamt präsentiert er ein Werk, das sich methodisch auf der Höhe der Zeit befindet, stringent einen äußerst interessanten und durchdachten Ansatz verfolgt und unser Verständnis über die Funktionslogik der NS-Herrschaft in einem marginalisierten Themenfeld bereichert.” (Christian Packheiser, in: sehepunkte, sehepunkte.de, Jg. 24, Heft 6, 2024)
