How did the changing course of the conflict - the victories of the Blitzkrieg the first defeats in the east the bombing of Germany's cities - change their views and expectations? And when did Germans first realise that they were fighting a genocidal war?Drawing on a wealth of first-hand testimony The German War is the first foray for many decades into how the German people experienced the Second World War Told from the perspective of those who lived through it - soldiers schoolteachers and housewives; Nazis Christians and Jews - its masterful historical narrative sheds fresh and disturbing light on the beliefs hopes and fears of a people who embarked on continued and fought to the end a brutal war of conquest and genocide"
