Nazi Germany (Cherry, Plum, and Chrysanthemum)

Nazi Germany, also known as the Third Reich, is the common name for Germany during the period when its government was controlled by Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed from a republic into a totalitarian state using the process of Gleichschaltung (coordination). Nazi Germany's existence ceased with the end of World War II after the Allied forces defeated the Wehrmacht in May 1945.
