Okay, screw it. I took the time to write complete sentences for once so I’m cross-posting this from the last thread.

As long as this has turned into a books thread, I recommend Richard J. Evans’ Third Reich Trilogy in the strongest possible terms. An amazing body of work that (and I think this is rare) succeeds in both contextualizing the Third Reich and treating it as a proper historical subject.

As much as I hate the term: serious trigger warning on the third book. Evens doesn’t fuck around, and the Shoah portions are horrifying (even by the standards of the field), especially in audio format.
