Vor dem Hintergrund von Überlegungen zu Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Vergleichs von Diktaturen setzt sich der Verfasser mit der Frage auseinander, ob die Diktaturen in Deutschland 'deutsche' Diktaturen waren, vor allem was ihren Aufstieg und Niedergang angeht. Während der Nationalsozialismus ein genuin deutsches Phänomen war, stellt die DDR eine 'abgeleitete' Diktatur dar, die in Abhängigkeit von der Sowjetunion existierte. Der Beitrag benennt zentrale Probleme eines Vergleichs der deutschen Diktaturen wie den Grad des Totalitarismus, die einzelnen Phasen der Machtergreifung, das Sozialismusverständnis, die Zwangsläufigkeit der Diktaturen und ihres Endes und die Bedeutung der Feindbilder.

'After some considerations on the possibilities and limitations of comparing dictatorships, this contribution attempts to answer the question of whether the dictatorships in Germany were 'German dictatorships' - particularly in regard to their emergence and demise. Whereas National Socialism was of genuine German origin, this does not apply to the GDR as a 'derived' dictatorship, dependent on the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, certain aspects of this picture have to be specified. Moreover, this contribution raises further useful questions for comparing of the German dictatorships, e. the degree of totalitarianism, the different phases in the expansion of power, the degree of understanding socialism, the unavoidability of dictatorships and their eventual decline, as well as the significance of concepts of the enemy (Feindbilder).'
