I enjoyed this Englishwoman‘s memoir of living in Germany 1932-1945. I‘ve never read the perspective of an average person living—not being persecuted or fighting, but surviving—through WWII. It‘s a great book with glimpses into German culture in terms of Berlin, East Prussia, and Hamburg as distinct and unique territories under one rule. The history was great, the story was engaging, and I learned more than expected.
