New book argues Hitler's rise has been widely misread
Original: ‘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 Nazi rise to power are wrong. He describes Hitler as a 'lazy criminal who slept in until noon' and contends that viewing the NSDAP's ascent through the lens of the later Third Reich has distorted understanding of how fascism achieved its electoral breakthrough.
Why now: The book's provocative revision of a widely held historical narrative is drawing attention and debate.
