Hitler and the Forgotten Nazis Read Free

to say, I alone bear responsibility for any errors of fact or judgment that may remain in the text.
    I would also like to thank Professor Gerald Kleinfeld, editor of German Studies Review, for allowing me to republish here portions of my article “From Splinter Party to Mass Movement: The Austrian Nazi Breakthrough” (February 1979, pp. 7-29). Likewise, I am indebted to Professor Douglas Unfug, editor of Central European History , for his permission to republish sections of my article entitled “Fascism and the Fuhrerprinzip : The Austrian Example” (September 1979, pp. 272-96).
    Wava Raffensparger and Laurie Hodge of the UCF interlibrary loan office, devoted many hours to obtaining rare books and microfilm from other institutions. Mrs. Karen Morgan of Oviedo, Florida, along with my two young sons, Mark and Glenn, saved me much tedious labor by typing literally thousands of note cards. Finally, a special debt of gratitude is owed my wife, Marianne, who proofread much of the manuscript and who for years patiently sacrificed countless family excursions so that this project could be brought to completion.
