'For Their Own Good'

Viac o knihe

The book offers a comprehensive comparative analysis of civilian evacuations in Germany and France during World War II, revealing the tensions between state policies and public sentiment. Through extensive archival research, it uncovers how ordinary citizens' objections, driven by familial concerns, influenced Nazi policies. By highlighting the interactions between the two nations, the study challenges the notion of a singular, powerful Nazi state and provides valuable historical insights into the effects of aerial bombing and military occupations on civilian life.
