WW2 Must Reads Pt.2 Understanding Fascism
Welcome to part 2 of the series where we explore Nazi Germany, fascism and what is happening now in the US!
In this list you will find essential reading which will help you understand what fascism is, the origins of the Third Reich, how the Third Reich came to be, what the regime did and its downfall. There are books that capture the sentiment of the time from the perspective of every day, ordinary people!
Again the list is not exhaustive and feel free to drop suggestions at the comments

Excellent list. You might add Philip Roth's "The Plot Against America". Set in WW2 times, but it feels awfully relevant.
