Enjoy, great read. After this I would suggest Soldat. https://www.amazon.ca/Soldat-Reflections-German-Soldier-1936-1949/dp/0440215269
Soldat is a primary source written decades after the war of a chief of staff soldier in the army and he served in Berlin during the last days

> Siegfried Knappe fought, was wounded, and survived battles in nearly every major Wehrmacht campaign. His astonishing career begins with Hitler’s rise to power—and ends with a five-year term in a Russian prison camp, after the Allies rolled victoriously into the smoking rubble of Berlin. The enormous range of Knappe’s fighting experiences provides an unrivaled combat history of World War II, and a great deal more besides.
> Based on Knappe’s wartime diaries, filled with 16 pages of photos he smuggled into the West at war’s end, Soldat delivers a rare opportunity for the reader to understand how a ruthless psychopath motivated an entire generation of ordinary Germans to carry out his monstrous schemes . . . and offers stunning insight into the life of a soldier in Hitler’s army.
"Soldat: Reflections of a German Soldier""
https://www.amazon.com/Soldat-Reflections-German-Soldier-1936-1949/dp/0440215269 this is the memoir I mentioned and it's really good, otherwise no, just assorted reading/documentaries etc.
This. Also, there is a good book called [Soldat] (http://www.amazon.com/Soldat-Reflections-German-Soldier-1936-1949/dp/0440215269) by Siegfried Knappe, a Wehrmacht officer that fought on two fronts and visited Hitler's bunker toward the end of the war.
Soldat ... if you have any interest in WWII this is by far the BEST account I have ever read from the German perspective.
Also, I believe someone else mentioned them, but anything by Cornelius Ryan - I've read The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far and The Last Battle and all three were absolutely fantastic ... the historical detail that are in those books are UNRIVALED
I liked Soldat: Reflections of a German Soldier, 1936-1949 by Siegfried Knappe, and Red Road from Stalingrad by Mansur Abdulin.
Edit: Sorry, I gave you the Canadian Amazon links. I'm sure you can find them on the regular Amazon.
