Living in a dictatorship - a richly illustrated expedition into the everyday life of the Third Reich. The campaign for a healthy lifestyle, the cult of the body, the call for community - many aspects that shaped daily life in the Third Reich seem eerily familiar to us today, as Tillmann Bendikowski demonstrates in this book. But could there really be such a thing as a normal life amidst the dictatorship at that time? The author embarks on a narrative journey back to the heart of Nazi rule, exploring the everyday lives of Germans over a span of twelve months: from December 1938 to November 1939, when the Second World War was already raging and even the failed assassination attempt in the Munich Bürgerbräukeller could not topple the regime. A new, unusual perspective on the lives of Germans in the everyday reality of dictatorship.
