Thanks for the link. I’d not heard of Cry Havoc before. I’ll have to add it to my list.

Just added to my History playlist! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! I’ll have to pre-order it!

I second this book! It’s in my top 10 favorites of all time!

I’m currently re-reading “The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy” by Adam Tooze. It’s one of the best books I’ve read on (mostly) pre-WWII Nazi Germany. It requires a bit of background knowledge to follow along with the major players, but it’s a fascinating look at the reasons behind many of the foreign and domestic policy decisions of the Nazis. As you might imagine, everything hinged on autarky, with the ultimate goal of improving Germany’s standard of living with that of their neighbors, but especially the US. The book is thoroughly researched and provides the reader with incredible facts and figures. One of my favorite tidbits is that the Volkswagen (literal “People’s Car”) project never came to fruition, with not a single one ever being delivered to those who had put down monthly deposits.
