While our understanding of the Holocaust is well developed, we know little about everyday life in Nazi Germany. In this vivid and important study, Roger Moorhouse portrays the German experience of the Second World War from the viewpoint of the capital's streets and homes, raising issues of consent and dissent, morality and authority and charting the violent humbling of a once-proud metropolis.

Tracking the time line was tricky as the narrative leaps back at places. While it does describe life in Berlin over the 2nd WWar period, I was expecting more coverage on working class peoples day to day dealings with the regime. There are mentions but seemed glossed over. May need to listen again sometime.

Worthy listen/read.
