Le cospirazioni del Terzo Reich : Chi sono stati veramente gli artefici della disfatta nazista? Una storia di tradimenti e attentati parallela a quella ufficiale by David Welch
Quella de Le cospirazioni del Tèrzo Reich è una storia parallela, che corre nascosta accanto a quella ufficiale. Come emerge da questo lavoro, Adolf Hitler fece dell'arte della cospirazione un vero 'e proprio strumento politico, che lo aiutò a conquistare e consolidare il suo potere. Ma quell'abitudine a tramare tradimenti fu la stessa che altri utilizzarono invece per contrastarlo o, addirittura, per tentare di eliminarlo. Non solo alcuni degli uomini a lui più vicini, come i gerarchi show more nazisti, ma anche religiosi, intellettuali, studenti e operai avevano creato reti sotterranee di cospirazione contro il regime, mettendone in serio pericolo la stabilità. Pochi di questi uomini riuscirono a sfuggire alle intercettazioni e alle retate dei servizi segreti di Hitler, come la famigerata Gestapo, e molti pagarono il loro coraggio con la vita. Questo volume pone in evidenza le risorse dei cospiratori ufficiali, ossia quelli che lavoravano per il Fuhrer, e di quelli che invece speravano di annientare lui e il nazionalsocialismo, sfruttando -per questo -ogni possibile canale: sociale, politico o militare; il tutto, ovviamente, sempre nella massima segretezza. show less
