The book delves into the complex dynamics between the conservative German National People's Party and the Nazis during the critical months leading to Hitler's rise to power. It presents a re-interpretation of the Machtergreifung, emphasizing the pervasive violence and conflict that characterized this period, contrasting with the traditional view of a smooth transition of power. The author examines the revolutionary nature of the Nazis' actions, their attacks on conservative values, and the paradox of the DNVP's complicity in undermining its own principles while aligning with National Socialism's radical agenda.
