Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osprey's examination of Germany's home front situation during World War II (1939-1945). At the outbreak of war in 1939 Germany was committed to the concept of Blitzkrieg - a swift and decisive war. Yet, the reality became something very different as every corner of German society was hit by the realities of war. This book details the critical civilian support that was necessary to maintain Nazi control of the civilian population and includes first-hand accounts of the experiences of civilians who suffered at the hands of their own government as well as enduring the deprivations and fears of wartime life. With analysis and descriptions of civil and home services, from air raid wardens to postwomen, this book provides a detailed, lavishly illustrated description of wartime life in Germany, exploring the tentacles of the Nazi state as they affected every man, woman and child.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Bombs tells the story of the civilian population of German cities devastated by Allied bombing in World War II. These people went to work, tried to keep a home (though in many cases it was just a pile of rubble where a house once stood), and attempted to live life as normally as possible amid the chaos of war. Earl Beck also looks at the food and fuel rationing the German people endured and the problems of trying to make a public complaint while living in a totalitarian state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book arranged in chapters which deal separately with the Home Fronts of each country, Beck is able to provide a comprehensive picture of the effects of the world's only 'total war' upon the civilians who often faced bewilderment, fear, death, and destruction all around them. Beck considers the effects of bombing and sometimes actual fighting in the streets and towns in which people lived, and the policies of individual governments that attempted to encourage and retain support for the war effort in varying ways.

Hitler's Home Front provides a compelling and comprehensive year-by-year account of ordinary life in wartime Germany, chronicling how the population tried to find normality during an unprecedented emergency.Drawing on a multitude of sources, this book spans from the mundane to the momentous, such as how people coped with rationing, crime, travel restrictions, bombing, and how civilian morale fluctuated as the war rapidly turned against the Nazis.The official newspapers of those years - including Das Reich, Völkischer Beobachter, and Der Angriff - show how the public learned about the successes and failures of their nation at war.As well as drawing on the vast archives of German newspapers, police reports, and diaries of the public and politicians - period speeches, private unpublished letters, broadcasts, Deutsche Wochenschau newsreels and witness accounts help to build a picture of daily living in Nazi Germany. From reaction to the dramatic events on the Eastern Front to the domestic difficulties of cooking with synthetic foods, life on the German home front is richly documented.
