What political leaning did Andreas Hillgruber have?

  • Liberal

  • Progressive

  • Conservative

  • Socialist

Answer

Conservative in political orientation, Andreas Hillgruber's historical analysis was often seen as apologetic for Germany's role in World War II, emphasizing the situational compulsions and constraints of the time. Hillgruber's focus on military history and his downplaying of the Holocaust as a central element of Nazi ideology drew criticism, but his influence on the field, especially in the study of the Eastern Front, remains significant.
