Support the 'weak Fuhrer theory'/ Hitler's power over the Nazi party, they argue, has been considerably overstated
They contend that Hitler made decisions spontainiously, haphazardly and unpredictably. had few if any lond term plans
His introduction of the Nuremberg laws for example was done to appease hardcore anti-Semites in the NSDAP. from this theory it flows that the holocaust was the product of anti-Semitic forces in the Nazi movement, as much as it was a manifestation of Hitler's personal will.
Ian Kershaw has also claimed the existence of the Hitler myth. Kershaw argues that the perception of Hitler asa dominant, all powerful leader, ruling both party and state with an iron fist, was the product of Nazi propaganda rather than reality.
