The broken house; growing up under Hitler

Originally published in 1966, this biography by a former Luftwaffe man has just been published in English for the first time. Looks a good read.
"A German journalist who spent four years in the Luftwaffe has revealed how he attended the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials to 'meet the past in flesh and blood' and examine if he do could have partcipated in the worst atrocities of Nazi Germany.
Horst Krüger, who died in 1999, spent four years in the Luftwaffe, serving as a lance corporal and paratropper on the Soviet and Italian fronts and publlished his memoir The Broken House in 1966.
After being rediscovered in Germany in 2019, his book is now being published in English later this month, examining what made so many 'good' people fall under the spell of Hitler.
Krüger explained he was shocked by the fact the men standing trial looked no different than him, and had build successful lives after the atrocities they committed during the war.
He said that the trial made him reflect on what he would have done if he had been assigned to the death camp, and whether he would have participated in the crimes the 22 defendants were accused of, admitting that he too could have probably become 'accustomed to killing'."
