The Language of the Third Reich

A Philologist's Notebook
Book • 1947
This book, originally titled 'LTI – Lingua Tertii Imperii,' examines the linguistic manipulations used by the Nazi regime to propagate their ideology.

Written by Victor Klemperer, a philologist who lived through the Nazi era, the book is based on his personal notes and diary entries.

It highlights how the Nazis co-opted and adapted existing words and expressions to create a language that supported their totalitarian goals, affecting both supporters and opponents of the regime.

Klemperer's work also explores the broader impact of this language on German society and culture during that period.
