Yet without the active participation and commitment of the German people, it could not have continued for almost six years. What, then, was the war the Germans thought they were fighting? How did the changing course of the conflict - the victories of the Blitzkrieg, the first defeats in the east, the bombing of German cities - alter their views and expectations? And when did Germans first realize they were fighting a genocidal war?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTold from the perspective of those who lived through it - soldiers, schoolteachers, and housewives; Nazis, Christians, and Jews - this masterful historical narrative sheds fresh and disturbing light on the beliefs and fears of a people who embarked on and fought to the end a brutal war of conquest and genocide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis copy is in \u003cstrong\u003eGood \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003econdition.
