pickFascinating dive into drug use in the third reich. The general public, the army, and the fuhrer himself were all under considerable chemical influence for much of wwii. Will note this definitely reads at points as if it's been translated (which it has), with a bit less snap and forward motion than I suspect the original german version has. Still very worthwhile!
pickAn American diplomat and his family bear witness to the staggering, dreadful rise of a cult, led by a guy who says: “Only I…”
I‘m just placing this right here.
pickSimon Scarrow does it again with this book, the second book in the Berlin Wartime Thriller Series. It is superbly written and creates a real feel for the times in which it is set. This one also covers a controversial theme and actions by the Nazis. If you enjoy good thrillers I strongly recommend this book investigating murders against a 1940s Germany backdrop.
Starting off the #20in4 Readathon by reading the second book in the Berlin Wartime Thriller series. These detective thrillers are set during the Second World War in Germany. I really enjoyed the first one which was very well written and gave a great feel for the times.
so-soThis one whilst it was informative...seemed at times to feel top heavy with its pacing. Really feel it could've been about 100 pages shorter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ read. #bookspin #doublespin @thearomaofbooks
Sometimes you just have to take a break from podcasts. I know it‘s still audio, but it‘s still a break!
pickI‘ve always been so curious what drug use was like before people realized drugs are very bad for you and no, cocaine should not be used to treat sinus issues... Ohler answered all my questions by examining drug usage in the third reich and it was just as wild and dark as you would expect. It was well researched, written, and I learned a lot. The background is a poster advertising meth. Apparently meth chocolates were a thing…💊🍫
pickIn 1933, William E. Dodd becomes the first American Ambassador to Hitler‘s Germany. He was a mild mannered professor who had studied in Germany. The Germany that he had loved was in the midst of a tremendous change and horror. His daughter,Martha plays a pivotal role,as she becomes popular with the Nazis. A glimpse into the minds of those in power at the time, and what was assumed would just go away. A superb title. #authoramonth2023 #eriklarson
