The German Communist Party (KPD) was the Nazis first target following Hitler's seizure of power in January 1933. In this highly-praised history, Allan Merson traces the heroic, yet tragic, struggle of the KPD throughout the period of the Third Reich, starting with the fateful early months when the chronic disunity of the German left frustrated a united opposition to Hitler.
This is the first English-language history of the Communist Party's systematic resistance to the Nazi régime. Through a detailed study of Communist activity in Düsseldorf, one of the KPD's electoral and industrial strongholds, and the translation of illegal propaganda material, the author presents a fascinating picture of the only political party to offer continuous resistance to the Nazis until their defeat in 1945.
