1. The German War
A Nation Under Arms, 1939–1945
A gripping social history that uses diaries, letters and interviews to reconstruct the experiences, attitudes and moral compromises of ordinary Germans during World War II. It traces early enthusiasm and complicity with regime policies, the gradual awareness and denial of atrocities, and the increasing disillusionment and suffering as the war turned against Germany—covering mobilization, Allied bombing, collapse and occupation. The book shows how propaganda, fear, survival and everyday choices shaped behavior during the conflict and how memory and responsibility were contested in its aftermath.
