The rise and fall of the Third Reich has been a source of revulsion and fascination since the close of the Second World War. The images of the concentration camps; Hitler's hypnotic oration; and the vast Nuremberg rallies are seared into the collective consciousness. However, it is important that we understand the complex circumstances which allowed this particular branch of fascism to flourish. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
It's a fascinating look at the early years of the NSDAP in Munich.

This is a first hand account of a German pow at the hands of the Russians.... It is a harrowing tale but one that should be read and understood.
It has an easy flow to it and also told without bravado and is told exactly as it happened.
This is really recommended as an alternative to what you read from everyday books that don't deal with how the German pow were treated.

Hats off to Frontline Books for reprinting this little-known story of the Danes under German occupation during the Second World War. The Danish Resistance, the Modstandsbev?gelsen, was not a meek canary, but a dangerous and courageous bird of prey that refused to be caged. The scale of the resistance is without equal: twenty-six million issues of illegal newspapers had been published by 1945; radio guides for Allied aircraft had been set up on the coasts; boat services ran between Sweden, Denmark and Britain; a news bureau provided a stream of inside information to the Allies; German ships were unable to move out of the ports; and enemy troops were frustrated by the sabotage of railways and air bases. A thrilling story of heroism and daring.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
I have read many books on the Holocaust (fiction) and 1 or 2 (non-fiction). This is probably my favourite to date.
Despite this book discussing a horrendous subject, I found it really interesting. I learned so much from this read. Kept me intrigued though out.
It still amazes me that this happened in our life time. Absolute madness!
This is the perfect read for anyone who enjoys reading about History.
Be warned, this book does contain pictures, some which are quite upsetting to view.
