Der Professor Im Dritten Reich by Helmut Heiber
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.
