This has to be one of the most psychologically moving & disturbing books I have ever read. The sheer enormity of the atrocities and the duration of the war make this an intense read. The audiobook was excellent.
These people accepted deceptive propaganda until it changed their minds and their society. From the decimation of Poland onward most of the Germans in the book thought they were fighting in a defensive nationalistic War against Jewry.
The details of the wars shows a level of barbarism that is beyond my comprehension.… (més)

Superb, a must read for anyone with an interest in WWII, German history, propaganda, population dynamics or, to be honest, the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Big book. Good book. Takes you thru the war inside Germany and in the West and in the East. The powerful addition to the narrative is the inclusion of letters and diary entries of soldiers and their friends and families. Also, the Sicherheitsdienst des Reichsführers-SS (the SD) continuously collected gossip, rumors, jokes, talk on the street. Those reports are included, too. It is all fascinating and powerful. Especially the people that are followed thruout the book - some change and come to see the lies and horribleness. Some continue with their blind hopefulness and faith in their Leader.

Timely.
