This article contributes to the debate over how much we can consider Nazi Germany a terror state. It is focused on one type of terror - family liability policy or Sippenhaft- as a means of determining to what extent the German population was terrorised by the regime. Sippenhaft can be considered a key foundation of a terror regime as it targets the innocent over the guilty. This paper argues that Sippenhaft was a component of Nazi terror, operating on a selective basis and was utilised by various local agencies among the party and the army rather than being centrally controlled. These factors helped create a level of threat and fear that contributed to its effectiveness.

By 1933 Hitler was one large step closer to his goal of having complete control of Germany. Before the March elections of that year he had been made Chancellor - the second most powerful political job in Germany. Using the powers that the job gave him, he actively sought to increase his power even more.

On assuming power, the Nazi leadership's first priority was taking over the state and controlling and dealing with their political enemies. They then sought to tighten further their grip on power. However, very early on, even as early as March 1933 mobs of locally organised Nazis attacked Jews on the streets, beating them up and sometimes killing them. Across Germany many hundreds of Jews were rounded up by local SA groups and sent to concentration camps. The attacks on Jews soon increased and become more organised.

Portrayed in soft tones and pastels, their beatific gaze stared from billboards and freesheets across the land. Blonde, fresh-faced and pure, these were the women of Hitler’s Third Reich. They were prolific mothers, skilful homemakers, hard-working secretaries and dedicated auxiliaries. They supported their men at war and devoted themselves to the cause of their Fuhrer. And their Fuhrer treated them with all the delicacy of a courting lover.

Six years ago, Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who protected Jews working in his factory during World War II, became renowned through the medium of the motion picture. For many Americans and Europeans, the film Schindler's List (1993) was their first contact with the subject of the Holocaust. While people of all ages were moved by Schindler's genuine heroism, some found it revealing -- and somewhat frustrating -- that it took, in effect, a "good German" to introduce the Holocaust to the general public.

To deal with the massive unemployment and economic paralysis of the Great Depression, both the US and German governments launched innovative and ambitious programs. Although President Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal” measures helped only marginally, the Third Reich’s much more focused and comprehensive policies proved remarkably effective. Within three years unemployment was banished and Germany’s economy was flourishing. And while Roosevelt’s record in dealing with the Depression is pretty well known, the remarkable story of how Hitler tackled the crisis is not widely understood or appreciated.

Both inside and outside Germany, the term “Third Reich” was often used to describe the Nazi regime in Germany from January 30, 1933, to May 8, 1945. The Nazi rise to power marked the beginning of the Third Reich. It brought an end to the Weimar Republic, a parliamentary democracy established in defeated Germany after World War I.
