Living through Trump and after really REALLY makes me cranky about books about Hitler. Like okay sure charismatic asshole drags everyone else with him, but that didn’t happen in a vacuum; the Germans had history that set Hitler up the same way this comes out of Reagan as backlash, and the same way we have nauseating little shits like MTG or DeSantis, the Germans had folks like Milch or Speer who knew damn well what they were doing was terrible but it was convenient;
and career soldiers like von Kluge, who were just trying to build a career and ride it out and, tbh those more banal faces of evil are a lot more interesting than someone just bulldozing their murderous opinions through.
