Everything I read on that era can’t go a paragraph without mentioning the Holocaust. For example,The other day, I was casually looking into Slovakia’s role in the war and 95% of the information was about the persecution of Slovakian Jews.

I recommend David Irving's books. Specifically, The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), and The War Path (1978). Considering that the elite think he was too easy on Germany, Irving can be trusted to give a balanced account. He has been falsely accused of Holocaust denial.

I don’t even know what the Holocaust even stands for anymore. The gas chamber narrative sounds pretty ridiculous but I assume Jews, on some level, were persecuted.

Precisely the book I was going to suggest. Great read! (Got me hooked on finding all sorts of other memoirs...now have over 50, and it has opened my eyes to quite a bit of history one would not otherwise know)

There were some old youtube clips I saw of interviews on German soldiers that were in their 60sand 70s that were asked why they fought. They all said to stop communism.

Hey Anzac, I don't suppose you have a list of books you could easily copy-pasta? If not no worries.

Also this might help. Occasionally I'll look through this list from Barnes and Noble and see if anything new has been added (then I go to ebay and find a cheaper copy LOL) I searched ww2 Eastern front for this list because at the time I really got interested in that theater. (I'll do that a lot... I get interested in a topic and like a song I like, I'll devour everything I can on it over and over until I get interested in something else)

So many packed away so no list per-se, however do have a bunch here in my bookshelves I can see readily so give me some time and I'll jot the titles down for you. (can't do it right this moment) But rest assured I will. They run the gamut, from German. Russian, a whole lot on Japanese POW's. Do you have a preference? If not I'll just list a bunch of my favs.

Churchill wrote a 5-volume set on WW2, it got the Nobel Prize in 1952. Very exhaustive study of the war and how it came about. There is not ONE mention of muh hollowhoax, gas chamber, muh 6 gorillion, etc.

Anything by Max Hastings or David Irving.

A great book about Germany after the war is called German Autumn by Stig Dagerman. I can’t remember if it mentions the shoah, but he toured germany as a journalist for a Swedish paper. He’s very sympathetic to the german people. It’s a depressing but excellent book.

"To Hell and Back" - Audie Murphy

The book is much more intense with a lot more detail than the movie. Good read.
