I've been busy with uni stuff so my posting habits have gone southwards, but I'm working on a few things to be up soon
However I have received some very sad news
Prof. Detlef Muhlberger, a lecturer at my university, passed away. A fine and insightful historian and despite a somewhat taciturn (and stereotypically teutonic) character, always willing to give time and thought to his student's worries and concerns. His work was of remarkable importance in the analysis of fascism, particularly the NSDAP. His advocacy of the Volkpartei thesis brought a great deal of light on the genesis and dynamics of the Nazis and his analysis of the output of the The Völkischer Beobachter is now the standard work on the Nazi press.
He will be missed and my thoughts are with his family

Yes!, a very good historian. I had only read his book about the Völkischer Beobachter, but it is so good that I´m thinking about reading the rest of his work. Rest in peace, unser Volksgenossen!!!!
