The Rise of the Reich

<p><em>Rise of the Reich </em>is a rare National Socialist-era publication produced by the SS Main Office in 1941 portraying the justification for the SS's self-conceptions as heirs to centuries of German leadership discipline and statecraft through a sweeping ideological history of the German Reichs-Holy Roman Prussian and finally Hitler's own.</p><p></p><p>With mythic grandeur and martial clarity the book frames the National Socialist state not as a revolutionary break but as a natural culmination of German destiny: a rebirth of order hierarchy and racial-national purpose after the humiliation of Versailles and the chaos of Weimar. This present Reich as conceived by its new elites saw itself as part of a grand and unified historical mission with the SS as the vanguard of a new man for a regenerated Europe. </p><p></p><p>Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present <em>Rise of the Reich</em> in English for the first time; this ideological artifact offers invaluable insight into the worldview that shaped National Socialist policy in its formative years. Reflecting the early-war optimism of a state not yet tempered by looming defeat this book is a vital resource for serious researchers of National Socialist Germany and historical enthusiasts alike.</p><p></p>
