Hitler and the Third Reich
This is a module framework. It can be viewed online or downloaded as a zip file.
As taught in Spring Semester 2010.
The Third Reich is one of the most notorious, discussed and horrific periods of our age and although it is also very well researched, still raises many questions: How could a man like Hitler gain so much power? How could a whole nation ‘fall’ for the Nazi ideology? Why the Jews ..?

Joseph Stalin, the Real History--Part 3
"Stalin was as ruthless as Hitler" (Loius Fischer)! This irresponsible creature and Killer of 20 millions innocent lives was power monger, greedy. He was having a licentious character too.
