The history of Germany from 1918 to 1939 is much studied and will be familiar to many of you. The ill-fated Weimar Republic and its collapse after the Great Depression was followed by the 6 years in which Hitler transformed Germany in the hope of expanding and establishing a new ‘Third Reich’ that Hitler believed would last ‘a thousand years’.
In this article we will look at a collection of online resources representing the culture of Weimar Germany and think about the question: what can we learn from culture about society? This links to questions about how accurate popular views of a period are and in turn to how historians interpret this kind of material when analysing it.
