1. 1. Die Kapitulation Der Hohen Schulen, Band 1

   

   A detailed historical study of how Germany’s universities and academic institutions adapted to and were reshaped by the early years of Nazi rule, tracing the rapid processes of political alignment, the purge of Jewish and dissenting scholars, and the reorganization of governance and curricula. Drawing on archival records and institutional case studies, it portrays the mixture of opportunism, coercion, and ideological conviction that facilitated the erosion of academic autonomy while highlighting the roles played by administrators, professional associations, and student groups in enforcing conformity.

2. 2. Der Professor Im Dritten Reich

   

   Drawing on archival records and personnel files, this study examines how Germany’s professoriate adapted to and enabled the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945. It traces the Gleichschaltung of universities, the purge of Jewish and politically suspect scholars, and the harnessing of research and teaching to ideological and military objectives. Through vivid case studies, it reveals a spectrum from conviction and opportunism to quiet dissent, showing how institutional pressures and career incentives shaped choices. The result is a nuanced portrait of complicity, accommodation, and the fragile limits of resistance within the academic world under dictatorship.
