A Social History of the Third Reich (Pelican Books)

A Social History of the Third Reich (Pelican Books) by Richard Gruenberger. Mass Market Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780140217551.

If you had lived in Hitlers Germany... You would have gone to the pictures (costume drama), told jokes, used a special language - Hitler butter for margarine or Hitler cut for the unkindest cut of all (i.e. sterilization). If you had four children or more you received the Honour Cross; and not only that - if you were pregnant by an S.S. man, you could have your baby free. Racially mixed coitus, however, was against the law. These are just a few of the facts compiled by Richard Grunberger in this massively documented book. Working from original sources, contemporary newspapers, chronicles, letters, books and many unpublished accounts, he draws a spine-chilling portrait of a society that went bad.
