Taylor Kingston Chess in the Third Reich 1933-1945 Strategie Von der Gründung 1809 überHow the Game Was Played, Glorified and Abused The USSR is famous as the first totalitarian state to promote chess. Less well known is that Nazi Germany was the second. The Third Reich gave chess a tremendous financial and propaganda boost in hopes of making Germany a dominant chess power. Yet this aspect of the Nazi era has received scant attention in later German literature, and even less in English. This book fills that gap.
