Summary

Beginning in the broken aftermath of the First World War and the Treaty of Versailles, which made German recovery almost impossible, Whittock tells not just the account of the men who rose to the fore in the dangerous days of the Weimar republic, circling around the cult of personality generated by Adolf Hitler, but also a convincing and personality-driven overview of how ordinary Germans became seduced by the dreams of a new world order, the Third Reich. The book also gives a fascinating insight into the everyday life in Germany during the Second World War and explores key questions such as how much did the Germans know about the Holocaust and why did the regime eventually fail so disastrously?

The narration is perfect, the perfect voice for this informative book.
After learning the history of W11 in the early 80s in high-school, I believed I knew quite an amount of what happened. I realise now after reading this that I knew nothing at all. Everyone should read this book, to not only understand what man is capable of doing to his fellow man, yet to also see similar is happening currently with world governments and the population. Freedoms being removed, rushed vaccinations, health passports being discussed. No entry anywhere for the un vaxxed, regardless that our human rights state we have free choice, fee will. Our freedoms to protest have been removed and made unlawful. Governments recently passed laws stipulating the public must do what ever the government states. The similarities between 1933/1945 and now, will open your eyes wide.

Everyone should read this.

It must be borne in mind that this is a brief history of the Third Reich. But easily sufficient detail for someone to gain a good understanding. We read I would recommend

Throughly enjoyable and enlightening
