Product Description

Product Description

A major historical document, this book contains interviews with more than 150 Germans who witnessed, participated in, or resisted the rise of Adolph Hitler. The testimony comes from well-known figures like Manfred Rommel and Helmut Kohl; former soldiers and ordinary civilians; and victims of the criminal policies of the Nazi regime. Haunting and extraordinary tales of horror, courage, grim determination, and moral confusion fill these pages. Voices from the Third Reich takes the material of epic history and presents it in the form of the individual human experiences of men, women, and children subjected to the pressures of total war in a fascist state.

5.0 out of 5 stars Critical to understanding the Germans in World War II., 17 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This was perhaps the best of Johannes Steinhoff's books, since it does not deal with his own stellar yet tragic WW II and post war career. The insights of the average person living in Germany are of great importance to both social and military historians alike. Steinhoff offered this collective testament as a warning to all of us regarding war and the rise of a dictator. As Johannes said in an interview, "It is always the civilians who suffer the most, yet are remembered the least."

4.0 out of 5 stars people share their feelings 50 years later, 12 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Voices from the Third Reich: An Oral History (Hardcover)
I guess that it's an easy enough idea, write a book about people who actually lived during the war. It seems to me that books of this kind have been of great interest, especially to us who find WWII the most fastinating period in our history. I thought that the book was needed, however, I didn't think that the overall character of the book was all consuming. The best part of the book is hearing the reactions of people who had experienced the Third Reich first hand, it was very interesting hearing how they felt about the world that was crumbling around them. It is my hope that all of these people leave a record of their lives, especially for future generations to read. This book has made me understand something about people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book especially for World War II buffs, 26 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Voices from the Third Reich: An Oral History (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent work that shows the German side of World War II. Through many accounts, the tome reveals slices of German life from the rise of Hitler to the toppling of the Reich. It shows that the German people, even during the monstrous horrors of the Holocaust, were still just people trying to survive. It is a fine work and is worthy to be included in any library.
