( The actual line from Kershaw ’ s 1983 book Popular Opinion and Political Dissent in the Third Reich was that " the road to Auschwitz was built by hate, but paved with indifference ")

The two projected a ' love-hate ' relationship on-air, and got their fair share of PR in the tabloids, including Kershaw ’ s smashing up of a Wet Wet Wet record, and the studio turntable under it, live on air ( for which she was fined £ 1000 by the BBC ) because she hated the band for disappointing their fans by not turning up at the Radio 1 Roadshow ; and the two pulling a stunt of getting married as an April Fools ' Day joke.

In July 2007, following a complaint from Buckingham Palace about the mis-representation of the Queen in a BBC documentary, Mark Thompson, the BBC Director General, in a public purging exercise, singled out Kershaw ’ s show in what became an infamous BBC scandal, announcing that some of the DJ ’ s shows that were aired as live were in fact pre-recorded and that members of the production team had passed themselves off as listeners texting and emailing in to competitions.

Kershaw ’ s assessment that most Bavarians, and by implication Germans were “ indifferent ” to the Shoah faced criticism from the Israeli historian Otto Dov Kulka and the Canadian historian Michael Kater.

In the 2000 edition of The Nazi Dictatorship, Kershaw wrote he considered Gerhard Ritter's claim that one “ madman ” ( i. e. Hitler ) single-handedy caused World War II to that of a German apologist, and that he found the historical approach of Ritter ’ s arch-enemy Fritz Fischer to be a far better way of understanding German history.

Kershaw has no time for the Great Man theory of history and has criticised those who seek to explain everything that happened in the Third Reich as the result of Hitler ’ s will and intentions.

Kershaw has argued that it is absurd to seek to explain German history in the Nazi era solely through Hitler as Germany had sixty-eight million people during the Third Reich, and to seek to explain the fate of sixty-eight million people solely though the prism of one man is in Kershaw ’ s opinion a flawed position.

Kershaw ’ s biography of Hitler is an examination of Hitler ’ s power ; how he obtained it and how he maintained it.

Though in disagreement with many of their claims ( especially Nolte ’ s ), Kershaw ’ s concept of a “ Second Thirty Years ’ War ” reflects many similarities with Ernst Nolte, A. J. P. Taylor and Arno J. Mayer who have also advanced the concept of a “ Thirty Years ’ Crisis ” to explain European history between 1914 – 1945.

Though Kershaw does not deny the radical anti-Semitism of the Nazis, he favors Mommsen ’ s view of the Holocaust being caused by the “ culminative radicalization ” of the Third Reich caused by the endless bureaucratic power struggles and a turn towards increasingly radical anti-Semitism within the Nazi elite.

Kershaw has argued that in Nazi Germany officials of both the German state and Party bureaucracy usually took the initiative in initiating policy to meet Hitler's perceived wishes, or alternatively attempted to turn into policy Hitler ’ s often loosely and indistinctly phrased wishes.

Watching his state embroiled in the Gulf Oil Spill in April 2010, Kershaw, a Lafayette resident, became the official spokesperson for protectourcoastline. org, a non-profit dedicated to providing relief to the fisherman and shrimpers affected most by the spill.

Kershaw had argued that it was likely that Hitler's apocalyptic remarks before Barbarossa about the necessity for a war without mercy to “ annihilate " the forces of “ Judeo-Bolshevism ” were taken as both permission and encouragement by the Einsatzgruppen commanders to engage in extreme anti-Semitic violence with discretion being given to each Einsatzgruppen commander about how far he was prepared to go.

Kater contended that Kershaw downplayed the extent of popular anti-Semitism, and that though admitting that most of the “ spontaneous ” anti-Semitic actions of Nazi Germany were staged, argued that because these actions involved substantial numbers of Germans, it is wrong to see the extreme anti-Semitism of the Nazis as coming solely from above.

Kulka argued that most Germans were more anti-Semitic than Kershaw portrayed them in Popular Opinion and Political Dissent in the Third Reich, and that rather than “ indifference ” argued that “ passive complicity ” would be a better term to describe the reaction of the German people to the Shoah.

With regard to the Nazi foreign policy debate between “ globalists ” such as Klaus Hildebrand, Andreas Hillgruber, Jochen Thies, Gunter Moltman and Gerhard Weinberg, who argue that Germany aimed at world conquest, and the " continentalists ” such as Hugh Trevor-Roper, Eberhard Jäckel, and Axel Kuhn, who argue that Germany aimed only at the conquest of Europe, Kershaw tends towards the “ continentalist ” position.

At the same time, Kershaw sees considerable merit in the work of such historians as Timothy Mason, Hans Mommsen, Martin Broszat and Wolfgang Schieder, who argue that Hitler had no “ programme ” in foreign policy, and instead contend that his foreign policy was simply a kneejerk reaction to domestic pressures in the economy and his need to maintain his popularity.

In his biography of Hitler, Kershaw presented him as the ultimate “ unperson ”; a boring, pedestrian man devoid of even the “ negative greatness ” attributed to him by Joachim Fest.

Kershaw finds the picture of Hitler as a “ mountebank ” ( opportunistic adventurer ) in Alan Bullock's biography unsatisfactory, and Joachim Fest's quest to determine how " great " Hitler was senseless.

Broszat wrote a letter to Wulf demanding that he retract his allegations against Hagen “ in the interest of the tidiness of the historical document ” The British historian Ian Kershaw wrote that the Broszat-Wulf letters did not present Broszat in the best light, especially that Broszat seemed to have abandonded his support for Dr. Hagen very reluctantly and to have accepted Wulf's version only half-heartedly.
