Best WWII Book
I think that this book is very informative about Nazi Germany in the time of the second world war. There are multiple stories in the book. They range from 10-20 pages a story. The setting of the book is over the entire world.Any reader interested in learning more about the Second World War will find this book a quick primer that covers a wide variety of topics in clear and simple language. The stories are real, and the first-person perspective increases their interest to the reader.

The second story in the book and probably one of the most important is The First and Final Voyage of the Bismark. This is when Great Britain uses most of their major battleships to take down the German ship, the Bismark. In the Process, Great Britain loses their symbol of Naval power the “Hood”. See what happens with the german overpower, the Bismark.
