Intense, compelling and and totally upsetting.

A bit disjointed - more like a series of essays than a tightly argued narrative - Fritzsche nevertheless makes an important contribution to the literature of understanding how Germans accepted the Nazi regime and the crimes done in their names. The latter chapters on the Holocaust were not necessarily novel, but the first chapter - on how the Nazis presented themselves as the answer to a decade of political chaos - made the book worthwhile entirely on its own.

Fascinating look at understanding the day-to-day life of average, normal Germans and their lifestyle as a result of the Third Reich.
