A Terrible EfficiencyBureaucratic Competition in the Third Reich

A Terrible Efficiency: Bureaucratic Competition in the Third Reich [This chapter discusses indicators of bureaucratic competition in the Final Solution, including loose or imprecise formal organizational lines of command and an imprecision in the orders or dictates from superiors in the organization. Examples of these indicators provided in this chapter include the Third Reich’s approach to the plunder of European art and antiquities during its occupation of countries where these items were located, and from the Nazi regime’s administration of the concentration camps and the ultimate creation of the death camps, where the Final Solution to the Jewish question was carried out. Further evidence that the Nazi regime used bureaucratic competition to achieve the Final Solution with maximum efficiency is provided by the composition of attendees of the Wannsee Conference held in 1942.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter discusses indicators of bureaucratic competition in the Final Solution, including loose or imprecise formal organizational lines of command and an imprecision in the orders or dictates from superiors in the organization. Examples of these indicators provided in this chapter include the Third Reich’s approach to the plunder of European art and antiquities during its occupation of countries where these items were located, and from the Nazi regime’s administration of the concentration camps and the ultimate creation of the death camps, where the Final Solution to the Jewish question was carried out. Further evidence that the Nazi regime used bureaucratic competition to achieve the Final Solution with maximum efficiency is provided by the composition of attendees of the Wannsee Conference held in 1942.]
