 | | Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich refers to Germany in the years 1933–1945, when it was under the control of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, NSDAP), or Nazi Party, with the Führer (leader) Adolf Hitler as chancellor and head of state. |
 | | Germany invaded the Soviet Union on 21 June 1941 and on the eve of the invasion, Hitler's former deputy, Rudolf Hess, attempted to negotiate terms of peace with the United Kingdom in an unofficial private meeting after crash-landing in Scotland. |
 | | The persecution of minorities and "undesirables" continued both in Germany and the occupied countries and from 1941 onward, Jews were required to wear a yellow badge in public, and most were transferred to ghettos, where they remained isolated from the rest of the population. |
