A groundbreaking history of what drove the Germans to fight -- and
keep fighting -- for a lost cause in World War II In The German
War, acclaimed historian Nicholas Stargardt draws on an
extraordinary range of firsthand testimony -- personal diaries,
court records, and military correspondence -- to explore how the
German people experienced the Second World War. When war broke out
in September 1939, it was deeply unpopular in Germany. Yet without
the active participation and commitment of the German people, it
could not have continued for almost six years. What, then, was the
war the Germans thought they were fighting? How did the changing
course of the conflict -- the victories of the Blitzkrieg, the
first defeats in the east, the bombing of German cities -- alter
their views and expectations? And when did Germans first realize
they were fighting a genocidal war? Told from the perspective of
those who lived through it -- soldiers, schoolteachers, and
housewives; Nazis, Christians, and Jews -- this masterful
historical narrative sheds fresh and disturbing light on the
beliefs and fears of a people who embarked on and fought to the end
a brutal war of conquest and genocide.
