À propos de cet audio
A major new history of the Third Reich that explores the German psyche.
As early as 1941, Allied victory in World War II seemed all but assured. How and why, then, did the Germans prolong the barbaric conflict for three and a half more years?
In The German War, acclaimed historian Nicholas Stargardt draws on an extraordinary range of primary source materials - personal diaries, court records, and military correspondence - to answer this question. He offers an unprecedented portrait of wartime Germany, bringing the hopes and expectations of the German people - from infantrymen and tank commanders on the Eastern Front to civilians on the home front - to vivid life. While most historians identify the German defeat at Stalingrad as the moment when the average German citizen turned against the war effort, Stargardt demonstrates that the Wehrmacht in fact retained the staunch support of the patriotic German populace until the bitter end.
Astonishing in its breadth and humanity, The German War is a groundbreaking new interpretation of what drove the Germans to fight - and keep fighting - for a lost cause.

Unique and comprehensive.
The author addresses the personal experiences of German soldiers and civilians during WW II. It is not a history of battles or campaigns but rather the effect of them on individuals. You will learn what soldiers and civilians thought of Hitler, the Nazi party, the war, the Allies, the Russians, and the persecution and eventually the murder of the Jews. All of it will surprise you. The material is drawn from contemporary letters and diaries, not from retrospective rethinking. It is candidly authentic. Highly recommended.
