Summer Term 25 PD Dr. Norman Domeier
Seminar The History of National Socialism: The Third Reich at War (1939-45) Email: Norman.Domeier@ff.cuni.cz Time Thursday, 15:50-17:25 Location C 335 (Celetna) Starting 20 February 2025 Moodle tba In this seminar we are going to tackle the question how the Nazis managed to wage war in 1939 and dominate broad parts of Europe and Northern Africa by 1941/42. How these military triumphs were possible was, as we will see, intertwined with both the ideological war aim of Adolf Hitler and how this racial war of destruction and conquest was actually led by the Germans: ruthlessly, without pity and with the vision of genocide and world domination in mind.
