What did Intentionalist historians argue on the issue of whether to call Nazi Germany totalitarian? Please help!

Hmm i thought that the intentionalist/structuralist argument only extended to Nazi foriegn policy and the Jews?....

 

[miss-teek]

No. The Structuralist historians argued that to label Nazi Germany as a totalitarian state would indicate a central focus on Germany's outward structure; i just don't know what the intentionalist historians said
