Description
Germany's defeat in the First World War and the Treaty of Versailles that followed were national disasters, with far-reaching consequences not just for the country but for the world itself.
Weaving the stories of three German families from the beginning of Germany's territorial aspirations of the First World War to the shattered dream of a thousand-year Reich in the Second World War, Tim Heath's rich narrative explores a multitude of rare and untapped resources to explore the darkest recesses of German social and military history.
Hitler's Germany presents a nation's journey not only through everyday life and war, but through its own conscience, pain and inevitable search for some form of absolution from its past. It is real, painful and incredibly human - an essential history to further understand the mind-set of Germany during the most tumultuous years of the nation's history.

Person
Born in to a military family, Tim Heath's interest in history led him to research the air war of the Second World War, focussing on the German Luftwaffe and writing extensively for The Armourer Magazine. During the course of his research he worked closely with the German War Graves Commission at Kassel, Germany, and met with German families and veterans alike. Hitler's Germany is his third book, following the well-received Hitler's Girls that was born out of this research and it's sequel, In Hitler's Shadow.
