Beschreibung
In the late 1920s the protests of the Landvolkbewegung (
) in Schleswig-Holstein escalated from tax-strikes to bombings and the rejection of the Weimar Republic. This history sheds light on the fall of Weimar democracy, the dramatic rise of National Socialism in the countryside and its breakthrough as a mass political party.
