“Sait's work is an exciting read that makes it plausible that political indoctrination within the Wehrmacht had an important influence on the actions of soldiers during the war.” • H-Soz-Kult

“[This book] does significantly further our understanding of the mechanisms and extent of indoctrination within the Wehrmacht. Scholarly and engaging, it deserves the attention of both students and specialists in this area.” • American Historical Review

“Sait has produced an excellent, bounded study of the Nazi apparatus of indoctrination of the German military. His clear focus on the means and intent of the authorities makes this a balanced approach to peeling the onion of perpetrator motivation, both individually and at the organizational level. He addresses elements of the process that seem to be taken for granted by other scholars and, as a result, produces a book that will be appreciated by scholars and advanced students alike.” • Journal of Modern History

“Sait’s examination of the military intentionally feeding Nazi propaganda to its troops during the 1930s and the pre-Barbarossa period addresses a significant gap in the literature…[The author]  has pointed the way forward for further research with this volume.” • German History

“…a valuable addition because it explores how military education interacted with National Socialist ideology in and outside of the barracks.” • Holocaust & Genocide Studies

“This is an important book, one that provides a clear and compelling narrative for readers interested in how the Wehrmacht evolved into a willing tool of the Führer. While it relies heavily on the findings of previous research, Sait’s approach effectively situates these findings within the context of the Wehrmacht’s institutional culture dating back to the beginnings of the Nazi regime.” • Europe Now

“The Indoctrination of the Wehrmacht is a well-written piece of work centering on an important topic that has not yet been adequately covered.” • Raffael Scheck, Colby College

“Both Sait’s theoretical framework and methodological approach are convincing and close a research gap that has emerged in the field over the last decade. This book is intellectually fascinating and makes a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the topic.” • Walter Manoschek, University of Vienna
