Agreed. This book helped me really understand the people in a country are not all defined by the ruling party or the ruler. In this case, not all Germans were Nazis and some had much honor in how they conducted warfare. Maybe this was obvious to many people but it wasn’t obvious to me until this book.

I can recommend “They Thought They Were Free”. The book is imperfect, but it hit home to me the horrific truth on National Socialism: that the people who did it were regular people, not the monsters of myth.
