The Second World War was a German war like no other. The Nazi regime, having started the conflict, turned it into the most horrific war in European history, resorting to genocidal methods well before building the first gas chambers. Over its course, the Third Reich expended and exhausted all its moral and physical reserves, leading to total defeat in 1945. Yet 70 years on - despite whole libraries of books about the war's origins, course, and atrocities - we still do not know what Germans thought they were fighting for and how they experienced and sustained the war until the bitter end. Drawing on a wealth of first-hand testimony, this book is the first foray for many decades into how the German people experienced the Second World War.
