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.

The Forgotten Soldier - Guy Sajer. Awesome read about life as a German private on the Eastern Front.

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.
