This book explores the history of revolutions worldwide through a distinctly Nazi lens, spanning from ancient civilizations like Rome and Israel all the way to modern figures such as Gandhi, the Bolshevik uprising in Russia, and Adolf Hitler himself. The project drew from a wide array of writers, spearheaded by Wulf Bley, a dramatist and prominent Nazi thinker. A good number of them were committed party loyalists, such as the SS-affiliated writer Kurt Eggers. However, it also featured input from established scholars. For instance, the piece on the 1848 Austrian uprisings comes from Hugo Kerchnawe, a retired Austro-Hungarian army officer and respected authority in military history. The sections on the Russian Revolution were penned by Georg Wrangel, a kin of the anti-Bolshevik commander Pyotr Wrangel, though, curiously, Georg later pursued a career as a fashion model in America. Another standout is the essay on Gandhi, authored by Tarachand Roy, an Indian scholar based at the University of Berlin.

Revolutionen der Weltgeschichte: Zwei Jahrtausende Revolutionen und Bürgerkriege was released in 1933 by Justin Moser in Munich. It draws on a propagandistic framework to interpret global upheavals over two millennia, emphasizing themes of national identity, conflict, and ideological shifts through figures like Martin Luther, Otto von Bismarck, and Maximilien Robespierre.
Wulf Bley, born in 1890 and passing in 1961, was not just an editor but a committed party member who joined the NSDAP and SA in 1931, rising to the rank of Obersturmführer. He produced a series of illustrated annuals like "Das Jahr I" (focusing on 1933's regime milestones), "Das Jahr II" (highlighting 1934 events including the Nuremberg rallies), and "Das Jahr III" (covering 1935, with images of parades and funerals). Beyond literature, he served as an advisor during the regime's takeover of Berlin's Deutsches Theater in May 1933.
