German Home Front 1939-45 (E.#157)

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. "Brian L Davis' "The German Home Front 1939-45" chronicles German civilian life during the war and the duties and challenges of living in a Nazi state..." -"California Bookwatch "(December 2007)

"Author Brian Davis takes what seems to be a very confusing mix of bureaucracies and makes sense of them... A truly interesting and somewhat unique look at warfare and the organization of the German state during the Second World War. Highly recommended." - Scott Van Aken, "modelingmadness.com "(October 2007)
