Abstract

By appealing to the people, and restoring a sense of pride through nationalism, Hitler and his Nazi party gained immense popularity. In this article, I explore one of the Nazi party's most influential, yet not well known or studied in depth, methods for inspiring nationalistic pride in Germany, archaeological research.
