This book laid out Hitler's views concerning the prosperity of Germany and the thinking behind their quick economic decline after World War 1. In his publication, Hitler explained how there was to be one, Aryan race occupying Germany and their controlled regions. Hitler had an arrangement for making this "master race", and it wasn't expelling Jews from Germany. “[Hitler] will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes 12.”(Pg. 63 Night, Elie Wiesel).
In the wake of the second world war, the consensus amongst historians was that the power of Hitler in the third Reich was that of omnipotent and outright, and his control over such was definitive. This has been reason of debate following the emergence of interpretation through revisionist Historians such as Martin Broszat. Broszat argues that Hitler was a weak and indecisive leader dependent upon the actions of his subordinates through which manipulated him by way of their competing and overlapping power structures. This has found its way to the conclusive ‘structuralist’ vs ‘intentionalist’ debate for which historians such as Karl Dietrich Bracher take acceptance to the fact of competition amongst rival power structures however lays greater
During the Holocaust over six million people died to Adolf Hitler’s plans to exterminate the whole Jewish population. Being in the concentration camps tested all of the Jew’s faith in God.

Outline “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.” - Adolf Hitler ("Adolf Hitler Quotes.") Hitler was, despite his actions, one of the most notorious people of all time. While he was a horrible person, he did not unknowingly or unthinkingly commit his actions ("Adolf Hitler"). After all, to think he was crazy or simply evil is to absolve him of responsibility of his actions, as detailed in "Adolf Hitler,” While he had a rough childhood, it does not exempt him of his manipulative abilities that he used to gain control of Germany and begin the Holocaust.

In the autobiography Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, he expresses his political ideologies and strategies in ruling over millions of people. He mostly reveals his perspectives on racial matters, asserting that the Aryan race is dominant over any other ethnic groups.

Backing Hitler thus reinforces the now dominant view among historians—a view that the author deserves much credit for establishing—that Nazism's brutality arose from a mutually reinforcing animosity by the Party faithful and ordinary Germans toward a host of outcasts. Although more intense among Party leaders than the German population, this approach nonetheless guaranteed that no serious opposition would arise.

MacDonogh seeks to justify the claim that 1938 was the most important year for Nazi Germany.
