The Encyclopedia of the Third Reich
by Christian Zentner, Friedemann Bedurftig, Amy Hackett
Paperback (1997)

A translation of Das grosse lexikan des Dritten Reiches (Munich, 1985), this is probably the most extensive reference currently available in English on the National Socialist phenomenon, making available to the nonspecialist the voluminous research on the subject. Articles cover not only the expected National Socialist leaders, but also more obscure party members and minor party groupings, and, in keeping with the totalitarian character of the Third Reich, articles cover such disparate areas as sports, culture, religion, and economics. Considerable attention is paid to figures who were not National Socialists, but who had a significant relationship to the period (including the individual and organized opposition). Also covered are other nations and their citizens who were directly affected by the Third Reich, whether through occupation, alliance, resistance, or collaboration.
