This book outlines and illustrates the living conditions of German civilians in World War II, and the Nazi state's basic structure. German families suffered the same hardships as British - labour conscription, extra civic duties, severe shortages of food and necessities, disrupted transport, homelessness and evacuation, separation from loved ones and, for many, bereavement. However, there were important differences. The dictator for whom many had voted was leading them to ruin; unequalled death and devastation ensued from Allied air raids; and every aspect of life was caged around with repressive decrees that began to replace the true rule of law well before September 1939.Contents. -Life in Germany before the outbreak of war -during the early victories -during the straitened mid-war years -in the late war years of massive air raids and shortages -defeat and occupation -The police state: laws, controls, censorship, police organizations as they affected daily life -courts and prisons -Daily life -leisure, entertainment, media, propaganda -Economic life -work, availability of goods and food, rationing, black market -Civil services -movement and transport, post, health services, evacuations, refugees - Air raid precautions and services -The home guard -Life under invasion and occupation Texte en anglais
