Promise Me You'll Shoot Yourself: The Downfall of Ordinary Germans, 1945 by Florian Huber

4.0

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.
