- 1New book argues our picture of Hitler's rise is wrong▼‘Hitler was a lazy criminal who slept in until noon’: why most of what we think we know about the rise of the Nazis is wrong
German artist and writer Philipp Ruch has published a new book arguing that most popular assumptions about the Nazis' ascent are mistaken. In an interview with The Guardian, Ruch describes Hitler as a 'lazy criminal who slept in until noon' and contends that viewing the NSDAP through the lens of the later Third Reich has distorted understanding of how fascism achieved its electoral breakthrough in Germany.
