A harrowing series of stories about Germans who killed themselves on the eve of Germany’s defeat in World War II.
An examination of what happens when your world is completely shattered. Of the horrors of war. Of what happens when people realize they were in the perpetrators of incredible violence. Of the brutal realities the world so often contains.

This book provided a very different perspective of Germany after WWII. I think it's really important to read to understand how German's experienced the end of the war and how they were able to compartmentalize their actions and experiences and diminish their horrific actions.

De suicide epidemie die in 1945 plaatsvond op verschillende plekken in Duitsland. Een stuk geschiedenis die ik nog niet kende. Een intrigerend verhaal en verhaallijnen uit dagboekfragmenten van meestal de aanhangers van nationaalsocialisme. Heel interessant en schrijnend om over de opkomst van Hitler, het meeslepen en hun ondergang te lezen. Fascinerend en aangrijpend boek en bizar om te lezen dat we hier nooit eerder over hebben gelezen. Eigenlijk een must read voor iedereen.
