Historian Emmanuel Droit provides a compelling essay on the end of
Nazism, based on little-used archives. ---- At the very end of the
Second World War, several Nazi leaders-military officers and ministers
(Karl Dönitz, Alfred Joldl, and Albert Speer)-attempted to keep Nazi
Germany alive. Taking refuge in Flensburg in northern Germany, they
maintained a shadow government for several weeks and tried to keep the
Third Reich going until their arrest on May 23, 1945, while living in
semi-clandestinity. Their goal was to create the illusion, perhaps to
save themselves, that they had simply been following orders. For several
weeks, they attempted to rehabilitate Germany's image. Their charm
offensive toward the West failed. Beyond this, Emmanuel Droit also
reveals something else: some of these leaders enabled the rise of the
denialist discourse that has since spread in Germany, inverting reality
and presenting Germany as a victim of the war.
A fascinating reconstruction, particularly useful for understanding the
political strategies of contemporary Germany.
