Discussion: Defying Hitler: A Memoir

Author: Sebastian Haffner

Description: In “Defying Hitler” Sebastian Haffner describes his youth years from the beginning of WW1 to the Weimar Republic and the takeover of the Nazis. He captures the atmosphere throughout these stages of German history. Weimar Republic was never really accepted, Hitler not taken seriously; majority of people voted against Hitler but were paralyzed, no one had the guts to fight against him; Nazis used comradeship to seduce people (Haffner himself felt that, despite his disgust for the Nazis)
