From ideal new cities to a scenic superhighway stretching from Berlin to northern Norway, plans to remake the country into a model "Aryan" society fired the imaginations of Hitler, his architect Albert Speer, and other Nazi leaders. In Hitlers Northern Utopia, Despina Stratigakos provides the first major history of Nazi efforts to build a Nordic empire-one that they believed would improve their genetic stock and confirm their destiny as a new order of Vikings. Drawing on extraordinary unpublished diaries, photographs, and maps, as well as newspapers from the period, Hitlers Northern Utopia tells the story of a broad range of completed and unrealized architectural and infrastructure projects far beyond the well-known German military defenses built on Norways Atlantic coast.These ventures included maternity centers, cultural and recreational facilities for German soldiers, and a plan to create quintessential National Socialist communities out of twenty-three towns damaged in the German invasion, an overhaul Norwegian architects were expected to lead. The most ambitious scheme-a German cultural capital and naval base-remained a closely guarded secret for fear of provoking Norwegian resistance. A gripping account of the rise of a Nazi landscape in occupied Norway, Hitlers Northern Utopia reveals a haunting vision of what might have been-a world colonized under the swastika.Drawing from a staggering trove of archival letters, maps, plans and diaries, Stratigakoss Hitlers Northern Utopia gracefully juxtaposes the oppressors dream with Norways brutal reality as she examines the countrys occupation and the labor force that worked on building the Nazi fantasy state that never was. Lucy Tiven, Washington PostAs well as being a fascinating account of an unfamiliar but important aspect of the Second World War, this book is an exemplary model of scholarship. . . . It is a remarkable achievement, compelling in its originality and fascination, and a vital addition to the huge literature on the most horrific war in modern history. Simon Heffer, The TelegraphA fascinating archival study, Hitlers Northern Utopia is the result of meticulous sleuthing through newspapers and old documents written in three different languages.
