The Third Reich is an anglification of the German expression "Das Dritte Reich", and is used as a synonym for National Socialist Germany. The Third Reich was seen as successor to the Holy Roman Empire (First Reich) and the 1871 German Empire (Second Reich). The Third Reich was sometimes also referred to as the "Thousand Year Reich", as it was intended by its founder, Adolf Hitler, to stand for one thousand years.

Hitler's plans seemed to be well on their way to fruition. At its height, the Third Reich controlled the greater part of Europe.
