Antony Beevor's "Stalingrad" and "Berlin Downfall 1945" were very good

Seriously now

I just read Stalingrad, and it was a good read indeed. It was just baffling to read how political meddling on both sides led to unnecessary catastrophes again and again.

Armageddon: The Battle for Germany 1944-45 is pretty good. Generally any book by Max Hastings is a solid read.

"All Hell Let Loose: The World at War 1939-1945" by Max Hastings is supposedly a very good general history of the Second World War, well regarded.

You'll want to get yourself some David Irving, if you can stomach it.

If I had to recommend just one book about Nazi Germany's war it would be Adam Tooze's "Wages of Destruction."

I have his book on Korea. He's a good lad. Though if I'm not mistaking him with someone else there's some controversy about his belief that the victory against the central powers in WWI basically saved Europe from tyranny.

I read this one like 5 years ago and still remember some of the best bits. A lot of little known information and anecdotes and doesn't stick to the old myth of claiming that WWII was a fight of good vs. evil or that the Soviets were better than Germans all of which is way too common in American/British historiography.

This is as close as you'll get to an official history of the war for Germany, it's a collaborative work by multiple historians from the military history office of the Bundeswehr and goes into extremely autistic detail about pretty much every facet of the war. The translations are extremely expensive though and only half of the volumes are up on libgen, but the Barbarossa one has been uploaded to archive.org.
