THe Nazi Seisure of Power

 
This is the story of a small town in Germany during the years of the Weimar Republic and the early years of the Third Reich, and is both an attempt to understand how a democracy could precipitate both civil and sink into a dictatorship. Thalburg (actually Nordheim) is a quiet center of the ancient kingdom of Hanover, ten thousand inhabitants, very few industries and commerce, which in the years 1930 to 1935, as the whole of Germany, a new face: on the basis of documentation and survey of staff, Allen tells the tragic transformation of the stages, giving a face and a clear identity to people and events that have tied their fate to the fate of the German people.

Do you know Rammstein? If you aren't metalhead, maybe not...
They are an Industrial band from Germany...some time ago I've read something about them:

"In Guadalajara a guy came in with a T-shirt with a swastika. He probably thought it was a symbol of Germany folklore. This guy was about 25 years, and could not seem more Indians: blacks long hair, a large aquiline nose, and was wearing a T-shirt with a swastika. It was soon ready to take it off as soon as it was explained that a symbol is very unpopular today. Probably just wanted to honor the group. After someone has explained that after World War II war criminals many Germans had settled in Guadalajara. So we asked the local radio station to announce that the T-shirt with a swastika were not welcome to the show. This was accepted and respected. But there was no right-wing group on the show. They were just people far away from Germany and who had thought that this had something to do with German history and that the group would have appreciated as a sign of respect! We told him that it was not so and they understood. Luckily the boys were first presented during the autographs, so we had a chance to react. »
(Emanuel Fialik, manager of Rammstein)"

I don't know why I've though this thing after reading the book...Maybe 'cause is relly too simple repeat the past, if you don't understand it or if anyone remember it...
