Robert Gellately

Robert Gellately (born 1943) is an American and Canadian historian specializing in Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin. His research on the Gestapo argued that Nazi terror relied heavily on denunciations by ordinary German citizens rather than omnipresent state surveillance. His books include ''The Gestapo and German Society'' (1990), ''Backing Hitler'' (2001), ''Lenin, Stalin and Hitler'' (2007), Stalin's Curse, (2013), and ''Hitler's True Believers'' (2020). His work has been translated into more than thirty languages. Provided by Wikipedia
