read all the way back in january but i have been so bad about logging on this thing.

this is quite the read with a really slow yet enveloping pace that really puts you directly in this uneasy transition from freedom to nazi occupation and this book while not overtly graphic or violent is almost more frightening than any other ww2 book i've ever read in its alarmingly unassuming demeanor and the cordial nature of histories most notoriously evil empire.

written about the war, during the war, this shit is about as real as it gets and that's why if found in possession it could cost you your life.

3.5/5 stars
