Life in the Third Reich : daily life in Nazi Germany 1933-1945 / Paul Roland.

"Germany was a deeply divided nation when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in 1933. As the shadow of the swastika lengthened, its citizens quicly came to realize that the Nazis' brutal programme was not optional. Everyone was expected to play their part in "national revival", especially those chosen as sacrificial victims. [This book] draws on the recollections of those who lived through the rise and fall of one of the most vicious and sadistic regimes the world has ever seen. These are the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times, living in the grip of a regime taht did not care if it destroyed the whole country in pursuit of its perverted goals."--Back cover.
