What are some good books on WW2 from the perspective of a German soldier?
Not german soldier, but...
I was thinking about getting "Goebbels: Die Tagebücher". I was wondering before I get a 5 book series and especially since so many editiors censored and cut a lot from it, if anybody here has read some parts at least and could suggest which publisher would be the best.

Heinz Knoke's 'I Flew for the Führer' is good.
My neighbor gave me "Inside the Third Reich" by Albert Speer. Very interesting account. Especially the end, on page 652, where he says during the Nerunberg trials, Sauckel (a nazi politician) was "shocked in his utmost soul by the crimes that had been revealed in the course of the trial."
It continues to say that the number during the trial was five million murders (not specifically Jews) was a horrible thing.
Interesting to read.
Also the "The Luftwaffe War Diaries" is a good account of the German fighter and bomber forces.

Unless you were part of the SS dealing with the final solution, you had no business knowing

Probably the only guy I can forgive for being a Nazi because he was so badass

imagine if you had a duelling injury but instead of healing up into a dramatic sweeping scar like that it healed into the shape of a cock and balls or something
