Best holocaust biographies according to redditors

Rise and Fall of The Third Reich is a really great book. The narrator is brilliant, I'm listening to it on Audible. He also narrated King's The Stand.

When all their debts are called in.

They fucked the german people with all these special payment systems. The Volkswagen was a pretty typical example. Citizens were paying towards this 5 year scheme that would allow them to get a car at the end of it. Except all the money was being spent on arms.

Also they issued special bonds to factories that promised them repayment (presumably "after" the war).

It was all an enormous gamble that relied on them winning the War, US and UK not getting involved and then them crushing Russia.

Anyone who claims Hitler and his cronies were financial geniuses who managed to save Germany from the Versailles treaty are ignorant at best, but more than likely they are nazis themselves.

Highly recommend this book if ever you want to beat one of these Nazi apologists down with actual facts, names, dates.

This is the narrative of many holocaust deniers and has been since the diary was published. It has been proven to be authentic in every conceivable level. Otto Frank won every lawsuit to do with the authenticity of the book. So far as I understand the book was never examined in any of these lawsuits by a third party, so there was at least some ever-so-slight valid level of suspicion.

When he died the book was willed to the Dutch government, they examined it, deemed it authentic, and then published the data that proved it's authenticity. Despite this fact, the deniers still use the same claim. Now they just state the opposite of what actually happened and hope no one looks it up.

> With Otto Frank's death in 1980, the original diary, including letters and loose sheets, were willed to the Dutch Institute for War Documentation,[87] who commissioned a forensic study of the diary through the Netherlands Ministry of Justice in 1986. They examined the handwriting against known examples and found that they matched. They determined that the paper, glue, and ink were readily available during the time the diary was said to have been written. They concluded that the diary is authentic, and their findings were published in what has become known as the "Critical Edition" of the diary.

Here is the actual published work that includes the results from the Dutch investigation.

>The German resistance consisted of small and usually isolated groups. They were unable to mobilize political opposition. Save for individual attacks on Nazis (including Hitler) or sabotage acts, the only real strategy was to persuade leaders of the Wehrmacht to stage a coup against the regime: the 1944 assassination attempt against Hitler was intended to trigger such a coup.

German Résistance sadly was political irrelevant, because Hitlers regime was never endangered by a considerable amount of opponents. This is particular true for the last months of the war, even-though it was already obvious that the war can't be won anymore. I recommend you to read [The End by Ian Kershaw] (https://www.amazon.de/End-Germany-1944-45-Ian-Kershaw/dp/0141014210/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493118993&sr=8-1&keywords=the+end+ian+kershaw)

Actually not true. He did smoke, He did enjoy an occasional beer, and he ate sausages almost exclusively.

Actually a pretty interesting read

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust

These were run by the same people as pre-Nazi times. They were close to the Nazis due to cooperation not coercion. Even Peugeot was allowed to keep his factories after the invasion of France. This is very unlike the USSR and any socialist principles whatsoever.

So you’re saying the stamping out of pro-socialist organisation proves that the Third Reich was socialist? You’ve also ignored the NEP and Stakhanovite movement.

Also point to me where Marx says that workers should be oppressed by their government.

You seem to be basing your argument off of the USSR a lot despite huge differences (Central planning, the system of politics, etc all very different) and the fact that they had to invent the term “Marxist-Leninism” to describe the USSR’s system.

Then how exactly is the German Reich socialist when it doesn’t at all follow socialist principle and only barely follows socialist practice?

I love the part where the Reich was so socialist it invaded the USSR and killed millions of Slavs.

The 3 you list about the economy are wrong. They didn’t have control they had cooperation. Businessmen kept their companies and in return for making tanks and planes - WHICH THE NAZI GOVERNMENT PAID FOR - they were allowed to deny workers rights.

If you want to at all educate yourself I recommend this. Hitler had absolutely no interest in economics whatsoever and totally misdefined socialism. What Hitler implemented was not socialist in the slightest and not only because big businesses were still run privately

I found one listing with the DIARY OF ANNE FRANK title on amazon, but this is the only one I've been able to find. You should order it and when it arrives see if it has the same title or if it altered by the time you receive it.

Wow, that's really cool. I only came across his wiki as a Green Beret Foundation page on Facebook featured him. I haven't read his book, but I plan to now.

It must fill you with pride, on the one hand some dickbag Nazis tried to wipe out your family line for being "lesser human beings" and then your granddad turns around in the face of that and becomes one of the biggest badasses around. A very cool man.

Perhaps Child of the Holocaust by Jack Kuper?

Edit: Here is the scene with the "cows vagina" :-)

Nope. Atheist here. And I just provided you with a 1168 page acclaimed biography from an acclaimed historian of Hitler's life and the Third Reich which goes extremely into depth on his suicide and the circumstances surrounding it. I'm not triggered by this. I just realize that I won't make any progress here because I'm dealing with a simpleton.

But I'm sure if I were Jewish, you'd call me a kike and say you want to gas me or something. I dunno. You're probably like the neo-Nazi other neo-Nazis look down on because at least they're not basement-dwelling losers. They're just regular losers.

Here's the link to purchase it if you actually want to look into it. I'm sure you don't, though.

I'm glad it's helpful. I actually found another book you might be interested in The Secret Holocaust Diaries: The Untold Story of Nonna Bannister

Schindler is very whitewashed in the movie. Even the list isnt his.
There is a historian who studied "him" for seven years and confronted myths about in this book :

Edit: its not me saying, Mr Oscar did no good but we cant compare these two characters.

Diary of a man in despair:

I'm not really sure how to describe it. It's written by a German aristocrat as Hitler comes to power, and it reads like Private Eye magazine, but about Nazi Germany. It's awesome.

It's mostly this book:

As I said - no evidence...plausible reasoning

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rise-Third-Reich-William-Shirer/dp/0099421763

Shirer was an American journalist based in Germany during the last years of the Weimar Republic and the first 8 years of the Nazi Government. I read it 30 years ago and have read a load of others since, but it's a good starting point.

Here is a link for The Critical Version that compares the three edits of her original diary: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Diary-Anne-Frank-Critical/dp/0385240236

This led to one of the more interesting biographies about Hitler The Hidden Hitler . It theorizes that our friend was sassy himself. (Good biography but definitely tries to mold facts and is full of conjecture)

There are many such books written for the Jewish community recounting first-hand experiences. I grew up in the Orthodox community so was always given these to read. One such title I'd recommend is "Go, My Son" by Chaim Shapiro.

Another such title is The Youngest Partisan.

or even better yet your best local independent bookseller.

Ideology is not identity, there is as much difference between Putin and Britain First as the difference between the Conservatives and Labour. If you can't see the red herring for what it is, you're already being reeled in, nevermind hook line and sinker.
