Geopolitics of the Third Reich

Besides the persecution and annihilation of the Jewish community, the quest for Lebensraum was a pillar of the Nazis ideology. The march east, operation "Barbarossa" (1941), was essentially the final part of the geo-politics of the Third Reich. Historian Pierik takes readers into the world of ideas behind these politics, where cold blooded, rational elements go hand in hand with myths and radical beliefs.
