Hamilton's "Who Voted for Hitler?" that voting records show that the richer the precinct, the higher the Nazi vote.

Daniel Goldhagen, Hitler's Willing Executioners, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1996, p 348-9. It is particularly telling that incidents of rural Germans in town after town risking their lives to help Jews who were being marched to death should be reported by this author, since his thesis is that virtually all Germans were eager to kill the Jews. Goldhagen needed to mention the townspeople who came to the aid of the Jews in order to highlight the antisemitism of the SS guards who threatened the townspeople. He seems unaware of the fact that he inadvertently undermines his own thesis. (In "A Nation on Trial: The Goldhagen Thesis and Historical Truth" Norman Finkelstein and Ruth Bettina Birn thoroughly refute Goldhagen's thesis.)

Norman G. Finkelstein and Ruth Bettina Birn, A Nation On Trial: The Goldhagen Thesis And Historical Truth, "Hitler knew how little support there was for the genocide, which is why he shrouded the Final Solution in secrecy and banned public discussion of it." pg. 53, also Finkelstein supports this by citing Bankier, The Germans and the Final Solution, chapter 8; Gordon, Hitler, Germans and the 'Jewish Question, 182-6; Hans Mommsen, What Did the Germans Know About the Genocide of the Jews? in Walter H. Pehle (ed.), November 1938 (New York, 1991); Mommsen, The Realization of the Unthinkable, 108, 128, 131 n12; Steinert, Hitler's War and the Germans, 55, 140-5 passim, 335

Robert Gellately, The Gestapo and German Society, Oxford, 1990, cited in A Nation On Trial: The Goldhagen Thesis And Historical Truth, by Norman G. Finkelstein and Ruth Bettina Birn, pages 38-9 discusses the wrath of the Gestapo when it came to enforcing racial policies destined to isolate Jews.

Leonard Gross, The Last Jews in Berlin, Carroll & Graf, New York, 1992 describes the way Jews in Berlin managed to escape the Nazis by relying on the help of non-Jews. It includes an anecdote about how the sister of the fallen German WWI soldier, Horst Wessel, aided Jews to escape the Nazis, which is especially interesting because the unofficial Nazi anthem was the "Horst Wessel Song."
