A companion book to Germany's Lightning War, Fall of the Reich is equally researched and illustrated.

The Third Reich : A New History, by Michael Burleigh. From the Einsatzgruppen which operated behind the front, to the Euthanasia program at home, and on to the army officers who plotted Hitler's hoped-for demise, this book traces a broad, all-inclusive image of Nazi Germany and its wars. It's few trivial errors of omission are more than compensated for by the many details, such as the fact that the famous Russian regiment which fought so desperately at Minsk in 1941 was a Chechnyan unit, whose survivors were later exterminated by Stalin despite their heroic fight against the Germans!
