Subjects / The Weimar Republic & the rise of the Nazis

Best books to learn The Weimar Republic & the rise of the Nazis, in order

This is history you have to understand as contingency, not inevitability, which means reading in order rather than backward from the ending. Begin with an overview of Weimar's fragile democracy, then the economic and political crises that strained it, then the rise of the Nazis—reading historians who disagree about why it collapsed, because the debate is the education.
