Nazi Germany is the informal name given to Germany between 1933 and 1945.
This is the period when the Nazi Party controlled Germany. It is also sometime called the Third Reich (German: Drittes Reich) which means The Third Empire. Nazis say they follow on from the first empire (the Holy Roman Empire) and the Second Empire of 1871-1918. The official name was (German: Großdeutsches Reich), the Greater (that is, bigger) German State
The name Nazi Germany was often used after World War II to highlight the difference between the Nazi-run country, which started the war, and the new peaceful Germany.
