Anybody learning about the time of the «Third Reich» will come across terms that
are not easily understood today.Where does the term «Third Reich» come from for starters? What was a «Pimpf»? How was the Hitler Youth structured? And who was eligible for the «Mother’s Cross»? What did the Nuremberg Laws regulate? Who was declared a «Half-Jew» and with what consequences? What did «Aryanization» mean? And what did abbreviations like «BDM», «SA» or «KLV» stand for? The Youth Encyclopedia of National Socialism answers all these questions and many more. It simply and concisely explains terms used at the time, as well as how the institutions and organizations of the «Third Reich» worked. An essential reference book that became a classic soon after its initial
publication in 1982. This is a comprehensively revised and updated version.
