Fascinating but occasionally difficult to read due to a lot of different hormones and drug injections being listed. I got slightly bogged down in the details sometimes. And the structure was a bit hard sometimes; I'm not sure if that was a translation issue or a me issue (probably the latter, I thought the translation was overall pretty great). Disturbing and honestly very weird, but incredibly informative. And due to the subject matter, less discussions of antisemitism than I was expecting.

I am not even interested in military tactics, WWII or military history, but this was fascinating! Such an interesting lens to look through when discussing WWII.
