From his first visit to Berlin in 1916, Hitler was preoccupied and fascinated by Germany's great capital city. In this vivid and entirely new account of Hitler's relationship with Berlin, Thomas Friedrich explores how Hitler identified with the city, how his political aspirations were reflected in architectural aspirations for the capital, and how Berlin surprisingly influenced the development of Hitler's political ideas.
A leading expert on the twentieth-century history of Berlin, Friedrich employs new and little-known German sources to track Hitler's attitudes and plans for the city. Even while he despised both the cosmopolitan culture of the Weimar Republic and the profound Jewish influence on the city, Hitler was drawn to the grandiosity of its architecture and its imperial spirit. He dreamed of transforming Berlin into a capital that would reflect his autocracy, and he used the city for such varied purposes as testing his anti-Semitic policies and demonstrating the might of the Third Reich. Illuminating Berlin's burdened years under Nazi subjection, Friedrich offers new understandings of Hitler and his politics, architectural views, and artistic opinions.

The NSDAP in Berlin
By F. Henderson
Thomas Friedrich's book deals, primarily, with the story of the NSDAP in Berlin during the Kampfzeit ("Time of Struggle"). It is clear that considerable research went into this book and the author has produced a highly-readable narrative of this fascinating time.
The book covers a wide range of topics: Hitler's first visit's as a soldier during the Great War, the Kapp Putsch, the rise from mediocrity of the NSDAP in the city, the Stennes Mutiny, etc. A large portion of the story involves Goebbels as he was the Gauleiter of Berlin starting in 1926. The author relies not only on the diary entries of Goebbels but also, and more importantly, the newspapers of the time - at one point there were over 40 in Berlin! It's fascinating to read how some journalists recognized the dangers of the NSDAP yet others completely dismissed it as a political power.
A personal highlight was the telling of the Eden Dance Palace trial in 1931. Four members of the SA were standing trial for an attack on Communist rally that involved the shooting of 3 members of the Communist Party. Hitler was ordered to appear as witness and took the opportunity to launch into long political explanations to any question he was asked. Hans Litten, a young lawyer, proceeded to ask Hitler more concrete questions which led to Hitler becoming flustered on the stand. Unfortunately this episode led to the downfall of Litten, who was arrested after the Reichstag Fire. He eventually committed suicide in Dachau.
The book ran out of steam following the Machtergreifung ("Seizure of Power"). The discussion of the planned redevelopment of Berlin was interesting but seemed out of place given the contents of the rest of the book.
All in all, this was a very good book. I would have liked to have seen more detail in some areas but it works as a general overview of the time

How Hitler Did It!
By Ronald H. Clark
This book turned out to be somewhat different than I had expected from the title. I assumed it would focus on Hitler's views of Berlin, its architecture and urban design, and his plans to scrap a lot of it and create the new world capital of "Germania." Only in the last chapter, pp. 343-372, does the author address Hitler's grand design for Germania and the remaking of Berlin's architecture.
The real focus of this 482 page volume (including notes and index) is how the Nazi party in Berlin in the 1920's, of a few dozen, grew into a force of many thousands with sufficient power to facilitate Hitler's Reichstag victories and eventual appointment by Hindenberg as Chancellor. This is one of the most complete studies I have seen of how the party grew and eventually triumphed.
The surprising central character of the book is Joseph Goebbels, who came to Berlin in 1926 to try and save the infant Berlin party outpost. For the most part, until he becomes Chancellor in 1933, Hitler spent for more time at the party's central headquarters in Munich. Goebbels turns out to have been a master organizer and propagandist, not to mention a skilled public speaker. He utilized both propaganda and mass meetings, and the threat of violence, to raise dramatically the party's public visibility. During the late 20's, there were dozens of right-wing groups, many paramilitary in design, who were plotting to overthrow the Weimar government. Goebbels' task was to get the party to stand out in this confusing mishmash. Large public meetings and the publication of his newspaper "Der Angriff" were especially effective, as was the start of the "cult" of Hitler which fascinated the working classes.
The other big thing the party had going for it was the evolution and incredible growth of the SA Brown Shirts, which came in handy in violence against Communists and Jews, in these wild days in Berlin when street wars were frequent. We start to see how Hitler began to lose control of the SA, with its penchant for violence while Hitler is trying to convince the authorities that he would not take power by force--which he didn't. The famous "Night of the Long Knives" was how Hitler eventually resolve what he had come to see as a threat to his control of the party. Count Helldorf, the Berlin leader of the SA, and close ally of Hitler, is an interesting and new figure to me. Ironically, he later in 1944 participated in the July Plot to kill Hitler and was executed
By 1933, when the party had achieved significant electoral victories, the looming presence of the SA, and its threatening demeanor, obviously played a big role in convincing President Hindenberg to offer the Chancellorship to Hitler. But that familiar story is not the heart of this fine book--rather, how Goebbels built up the Berlin party organization despite fierce competition from other right-wing groups to make it play a key role in the party's ultimate victory has not often been recounted so completely or with such clarity. This book, authored by a native Berlin museum curator and skillfully translated, admirably fills out our understanding of what techniques the Nazis used to take power.

Hitler and the Nazi Movement in Berlin
By A. A. Nofi
A summary of the review on StrategyPage.Com:
'Native Berliner Friedrich, author of several books on the city, such as Berlin: A Photographic Portrait of the Weimar Years, 1918-33, looks at the history of the Nazi movement in German capital that focuses on the period of Hitler's rise to Chancellor in 1933. The work opens with a chapter on Hitler's early contact with the city, notably two visits while on leave during the First World War. This is followed by two chapters on the city, Hitler's early political career and the initial efforts to establish a Nazi presence in the capital (1919-1926). The next eight chapters follow Hitler's relationship with Berlin and the course of the Nazi movement there until he attained the chancellorship in early 1933. A short chapter covers takes the story through the start of World War II, a treatment much too short, given the importance of period. A combination of a political history of Nazism in Berlin and a psychohistory of Hitler's love/hate relationship with the capital, this work will appeal to those interested in Hitler and the Nazi movement, the politics of the Weimar Republic, and the origins of World War II.'
