caidyn's review
4.0
Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
3.5/5
This was a very interesting read because it covers a few areas. It starts with how the Nazis further alienated the Communists, pitting themselves in a war against them when possible. That was interesting since I've never read a book about Nazi and Communist relations. What I knew was that they didn't get along and, in later years, Communists were sent to concentration camps. Next, the book talked about the beginning of discrimination against the Jews, which is something that most of us are familiar with.
Finally, it covered a topic that I wasn't expecting: How much the German people really adopted Hitler's beliefs. Was it all just a cover or did they really believe him? That was super interesting because it's a valid question. How much did people really change their thoughts to fit his regime or was it a show to keep yourself safe?
Overall, a very interesting book that covered a few different areas and didn't try to cover every little thing that happened in Hitler's first hundred days.
