This time I would like to recommend two books.

0:18.0

One is a Pearl Beyond price in World War II books and the other is a story of faith and despair.

0:25.0

The first book is the one, the only, the granddaddy of them all, the rise and fall of the Third Reich by William Scheyer.

0:33.0

For some reason, this is offered by Audible as a single credit book, which means if you sign up for a free 14-day trial,

0:45.0

It's simply the entire story of World War II from Nazi Germany's point of view.

But what's more, it starts with Hitler's grandfather, and also fills you in on the future leader of Germany's childhood,

Now his faith will be tested, and I'll leave the story right there.
