Final Solution and the German Office

The Jewish policy of the Third Reich did not stem solely from Hitler's pronounced anti-Semitism. It also grew out of subdivisions and feuds within the Nazi regime and the failure of earlier attempts to find "solutions to the Jewish problem." In his study Christopher Browning exploits heretofore little-used material from the German Foreign Office archives and transcripts of war criminal trials to reveal the complex of forces and motives determining the Jewish policy.
