Focusing on the intersection of science and power, this book delves into the agricultural sciences during the Nazi regime, revealing how scientific practices were employed to support autarkic policies and expansionist strategies in Eastern Europe. It uncovers the extensive nutritional research aimed at enhancing productivity amid wartime conditions and highlights the complicity of elite scientists in the regime's oppressive actions, including the exploitation of occupied territories. The work serves as a critical resource for students and scholars interested in the history of Nazi Germany and the role of science within it.
