Overall this book was extremely informative. However, I feel like the information could have been presented in a way that would make the read more engaging and interesting. I also found this book kind of disorganized, it's not written in chronological order & it back tracks & jumps around in a way that makes things hard to follow. It's also very repetitive & seems to drag on a little more than it needed too.

Grim, should be read with "The Good Old Days" and The German Army and Genocide: Crimes Against War Prisoners, Jews, and Other Civilians in the East, 1939-1944.

There is quite a bit towards the end here about this book:
Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust
Goldhagen, Daniel Jonah
Enough so that I may read that next.
It's written as a counter-narrative to the Goldhagen book, citing the same source material, with some different conclusions.
Just putting that here in case anyone wants to read them together as I like to read several books on the same topic frequently.
I really liked this book.

This is an interesting book. Especially if you are into history and/or psychology. This book shows how ordinary people can end up doing unspeakable things to others when being put in certain situations.
