Summary of William Sheridan Allen's The Nazi Seizure of Power

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The town of Northeim was the center of prewar Germany. It was a small town with a population of about ten thousand in 1930. The town was surrounded by walls that enclosed the medieval inner core. The most desirable area was on the hillside above the old town, where you could see town and valley.

#2 The town of Northeim was built around a medieval city, with three areas where it had expanded: up the hill and toward each of the two rivers. The center and essence of Northeim remained the old medieval city, surrounded by the slowly crumbling walls.

#3 The town of Northeim was able to recover slowly from the Black Death. It was not until the French Revolution that the town regained its population, about 2,500 people. The town was able to acquire a variety of technical academies and college preparatory schools in the 1870s.

#4 Northeim was a center for the violently right-wing Jung Deutsche Orden in the 1920s. The town was torn apart by strife and division, and it would experience the death agony of German democracy within a few years.
