Why did otherwise civilised Germans welcome Hitler’s message of hatred and racial supremacy so fervently? Laurence Rees wrote and produced the acclaimed BBC series The Nazis: A Warning From History as well as documentaries on Auschwitz, Stalin, the Russian Front and the Holocaust. He talks to Andrew Harrison about his new book The Nazi Mind, where he examines the psychological mechanisms that drew Germany into the horrors of the Second World War – and how those same deep compulsions are revitalising the far-right today.
