Who Voted for Hitler?

More about the book

By analyzing urban voting records from major German cities, Richard F. Hamilton challenges the conventional view of Hitler's support base. His research reveals that Nazi electoral success was more pronounced in wealthier districts, indicating a direct correlation between class level and voting patterns. This fresh perspective sheds light on the socio-economic dynamics that contributed to the Nazis' rise, suggesting that affluent citizens played a significant role in their support, contrary to the common belief of lower middle-class dominance.
