Yo can one of you niggas recommend me a solid WWII history book.
I read The Rise And The Fall Of The Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany in high school.
I looking for something of similar detail that spans all the countries involved.
Also figure I might start a /pol/ shitstorm. Alot of people around here on 4chan have been claiming alot of the holocaust is bullshit, any source on that, or is that just bullshit.

The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littel is amazing. Biography of someone part in the Einsatzkommando on the Eastern Front.
But it might not fit your /pol/ level ideology.

What a shit thread. Don't post on this board ever again.
So this board is basically /pol2.0/ with fucking retards like >>2775982 making worthless posts that have no meaning

Fiction set in a non-fictional universe.
Whatever, your call.

Beevor is pretty good, his book on the Battle of Berlin is very interesting and even better if you start with Cornelius Ryans book on the same subject matter and then follow it up with Beevor.
The ones on Stalingrad and Ardennes are decent but can get a bit too focused on the small details and especially "Stalingrad" spends too much time describing the absolute horrid experiences of the common soldier.
Paints a great picture but it doesn't tell me how the battle was won.

Shirer or Evans?
Shirer is shit. Full of mistakes and lies . He talks about Hitler not mentioning Poland in his reply to roosevelt 1939 and he does. He talks about lampshades seriously. Etc.
Toland is much better.
