This study is written with a number of objectives in mind. On the one hand, it addresses a range of historiographical issues concerning Nazism and the government of the Third Reich. The inquiry is also more than just historiographical. The prime aim is to look beyond certain theoretical misconceptions which have misled some historians. Working through a criticism of existing research, this study adopts what is basically a Kantian research methodology to investigate both what Nazism was and why an individual became a Nazi. Consequently the empirical work is premised by an important theoretical component which is unusual by the standards of much historical research. Although the fundamentals of the methods are hardly new, I am unaware of it being applied for historical purposes before.
