		Mommsen offers an effective counter to all such isolating trends; indeed, his work has always considered the domestic and military fronts, the Holocaust and the war as integrated parts of a broader whole.
		For example, Mommsen's conclusion refers to the complete atrophy of the political system and the total paralysis of German society, which was not able to resist the suicidal course of the Nazi leadership.
		Hans Mommsen begins the challenging task of assessing the role of confusion, which he describes in terms of chaos and Nazi in-fighting.

	Wolfgang Mommsen, 73, historian - The Boston Globe
		BERLIN -- Wolfgang Mommsen, a historian who chronicled Germany's imperial past and took part in a historians' battle over whether the Nazis' crimes were unique, died Wednesday, apparently of a heart attack, while swimming in the Baltic Sea.
		It was triggered by publications by several historians who challenged what they portrayed as excessive German guilt about the Holocaust, arguing that the death of 6 million Jews at the hands of the Nazis was comparable to mass killings under Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
		One of his great-grandfathers was Theodor Mommsen, a historian who received the 1902 Nobel Prize in Literature.

		One school of thought, represented by such German historians as Klaus Hildebrand and Karl Dietrich Bracher, holds that Hitler absolutely dominated the Government and that what distinguished his dictatorship from all others was precisely his personality.
		On the other side, historians like Hans Mommsen and Martin Broszat argue that the Nazi regime was chaotic and that local initiatives were later expediently woven into strands of national policy.
