(50,770 posts)your recommendations as to what one should watch/read are excellent and fill in the lacking details of the history of the rise of the Nazis from it's very beginning to it's horrific end.
My Dad served in the Canadian army during WWII, was part of the landing on Juno beach and the liberation of the Westerbork transit camp which was a transit camp where over 100,000 Jews as well as Sinti and Roma were sent from there to death camps for extermination.
My Dad would never talk about it, I only found out about some of the details from my Mom who said my Dad was never the same when he came back from the war.
Because I only knew bits and pieces, I, too, wanted to learn more about what happened, how it happened and how the German people could be participants in such horror.
