You'll learn more about the psychological workings of Nazism by reading this superbly researched chronicle... than you will by reading a shelf of wider-canvas volumes on the rise of Nazism.'Daily Mail'An utterly absorbing insight into the full spectrum of responses from ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.'The Times'Boyd is an outstanding micro-historian.'iNews___________Hidden deep in the Bavarian mountains lies the picturesque village of Oberstdorf - a place where for hundreds of years people lived simple lives while history was made elsewhere.\r\n\r\n   Yet even this remote idyll could not escape the brutal iron grip of the Nazi regime.   From the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Travellers in the Third Reich comes A Village in the Third Reich: an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany under Hitler, shining a light on the lives of ordinary people. Drawing on personal archives, letters, interviews and memoirs, it lays bare their brutality and love  courage and weakness  action, apathy and grief  hope, pain, joy and despair.\r\n\r\n   Within its pages we encounter people from all walks of life - foresters, priests, farmers and nuns  innkeepers, Nazi officials, veterans and party members  village councillors, mountaineers, socialists, slave labourers, schoolchildren, tourists and aristocrats. We meet the Jews who survived - and those who didn't  the Nazi mayor who tried to shield those persecuted by the regime  and a blind boy whose life was judged 'not worth living'.   This is a tale of conflicting loyalties and desires, of shattered dreams - but one in which, ultimately, human resilience triumphs.\r\n\r\n   These are the stories of ordinary lives at the crossroads of history.   ___'Exceptional...
