Summary

This volume in the series Nazism 1919-1945 contains the most systematic documentation available in English of the Nazi programmes of racial and eugenic extermination, including a detailed case study of the occupation of Poland. It contains a general account of the Nazi empire and the development of German occupation policies, and also covers German foreign policy 1933-1945. Following the opening up of the archives in Eastern Europe, the past decade has seen the publication of important research on the Nazi extermination of the Jews; three chapters have been substantially revised in the light of this research and a considerable number of new documents have been added.
