German Home Front 1939-45

At the outbreak of war in 1939 Germany was committed to the concept of Blitzkrieg yet the reality became something very different as every corner of German society was impacted by the realities of war. This book will detail the critical civilian support that was necessary to maintain German control and include details of the experiences of civilians who suffered at the hands of their own government as well as enduring the deprivations and fears of wartime life. This book is the first detailed, illustrated description in English of wartime life in Germany, and the tentacles of the Nazi state as they affected every man, woman and child.
