This book traces how Gottfried Feder and Fritz Todt made technology essential to the Nazi 'world view'. They groomed engineers with a racist technical ideology that prepared them to later supervise slave labor and the Holocaust. Their concepts evolved from volkisch technocracy to an idealized harmony of man, machine and nature, and were eclipsed by Albert Speer's total war. Partially due to willing 'self-coordination' from engineers, they gained political control over the engineering profession. Destined to be pillars of the Volksgemeinschaft, engineers were indoctrinated with Nazi principles of Aryan superiority at the Reich School of Technology, the Plassenburg. Nazi propaganda announced a bright future through technology, furthering a sense of normalcy in Germany, despite the ruthless exclusion of those unwanted.
