Guys, Any good non-fiction suggestions for a book on WW II??
My Tank is Fight.
1984
Neither non-fiction, nor WW2
@Neelma it’s a work of fiction but I believe that it should be moved to the non-fiction section
@Arthur it’s still fiction, and it’s still not a WW2 story.
If you are living in an Arabic country you wouldn’t say that. I am sure you would feel it as it is nonfiction
Sons and Soldiers.
Anne Frank
loved her diary on her stay at the secret annex during the 2nd world war
Yes the Diary of Anne Frank
I did nazi someone suggesting that, anne frankly it’s good suggestion, but don’t take my word for it since I’m not Reich in the head.
its the story from a jewish point of view, while Adolf Hitler was busy annexing the 7 countries in East Europe, the story on how Jews in the Netherlands were treated is highlighted here ??
Unbroken!!!
This is a really good book.

If Hitler had listened to his generals more we might have had a different outcome
I recently started reading Pegasus by Danielle Steel, it’s not exactly WWII yet, but definitely set in the same era.
Thanks for all your suggestions, will look into these books ??, keep sending more
Between Silk and Cyanide, Leo Marks.
Griffin is historically based fact the characters are based on the exploits of many so you got a great entertainment value
depends on what area you’re interested in, there’s quite a number. I found First Light by Geoffrey Wellum really good, he was an RAF pilot
Any area on world war 2, I want to look into the war at a more intricate level ??
Night
Bonhoffer, In the Garden of Beasts
The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw.
Night by Elie Wiesel, Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan, Here There is No Why by Rachel Roth, Unshed Tears by Edith Hofmann, Farewell to Prague by Miriam Darvas, Five Chimneys by Olga Lengyel, The Girl in the Green Sweater by Krystyna Chiger, Long Journey Home by Lucy Lipiner, The Boy on the Wooden Box by Leon Leyson, Henri’s War by A. Survivor, One Step Ahead by Avraham Azrieli, Gazing at the Stars by Eva Slonim, Trapped in Hitler’s Hell by Anita Dittman, German Boy by Wolfgang W.E. Samuel, Born Survivors by Wendy Holden.
That’s just a few of my faves. WWII/Holocaust memoirs is my favorite genre.
Flags of our Fathers
Hitler’s Children. I forget the author. It tells about Hitler’s top personnel and the outcome for each and the influence he held.
You might be interested in this.
I think it was a Little Girl’s Diary. Description drove me off the hook
Night by Eli Weisel is incredible
Anything Stephen Ambrose. (My husband is a WWII nut and that’s what he said.)
Unbroken
Home Run by John Nichol & Tony Rennell 🙂 It’s about escape from Nazi Europe
Nightwitches. It’s about the Soviet Women’s Air Corps. Fascinating first hand stories.
Liberation Trilogy by Rick Atkinson, Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose, Stalingrad by Beevor
Unbroken is amazing
The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
