World Conflict II reached into the homes and lives of typical people within an unprecedented way. Civilians composed almost all those wiped out by battle. On Europe's home front side, the war brought the German blitzkrieg, followed by long occupations and the racial genocide of the Holocaust. In An Flat iron Wind flow, historian Peter Fritzsche draws on first-person accounts to show how civilians in occupied Europe struggled to understand this maelstrom. As Germany targeted Europe's Jews for deportation and loss of life, distress and mistrust reigned. People attempted desperately to make sense of the horrors around them, however the stories they told themselves often justified a selfish indifference with their neighbours' fates. Piecing together the broken words of World Conflict II's witnesses and subjects - probing what they noticed and what they failed to see - Fritzsche offers a haunting picture of the most violent discord in human history.
