 The Death of Hitler's War Machine: The Final Destruction of the Wehrmacht by Samuel W. Mitcham Jr. -376 pages

This account of the last days of World War II in Germany details not only the collapse of the Wehrmacht, but also the dire circumstances of the refugees across Europe. The author shows how out of touch Hitler became as the Allies closed in from east and west, and does not gloss over the atrocities committed by the Soviets against civilians in the war's final weeks. In light of the current war and refugee crisis, this is a stark reminder that the situation in Europe could be even worse.
