Ordinary citizens tell how it was to live in Germany during Nazi rule from Hitler's rise to power to the collapse of the Third Reich. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Having read a huge number of books on Nazi Germany and the Second World War, I often find that, despite my interest in the subject, the stories become repetitive. Not so with "In Hitler's Germany". Englemann's unusual viewpoint of a liberal young man during the Third Reich and his combination of his own life story and the stories of others he knew makes for a book that is very difficult to put down. The book is both humerous and extremely serious, but most of all, it is amazing. The quiet resistance of Englemann and some of his friends reads like a fictional account, but, of course, it's true. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in World War II. My only problem with the book was that it was over too soon!

Interesting to read a first hand account of what the war was like for the average German citizen.

I have read a fair amount on Germany in WWII, and I can, with pleasure, reccommend this book to you. It gives many views of life during that period and gives a quality, overall view of German during that time period. The writing is interesting and well put together. I am personally glad to have the opportunity to have read this book.
