Who Voted for Hitler?

More about the book

Analyzing Nazi electoral successes through urban voting records, Richard F. Hamilton challenges the notion that Hitler's supporters were primarily from the lower middle class. His research, based on data from elections in fourteen major German cities, reveals that support for the Nazis actually increased with the affluence of a district, with wealthier areas showing the strongest backing. This study offers a nuanced understanding of the socio-economic dynamics behind the Nazi party's rise to power.
