*This is my first piece of writing. I know it won't be perfect but I try not to make it sound ametuer like a lot of books on here. I'm always looking to improve my writing, so any comments and suggestions are always welcome. Also, I am not an expert or at all well-versed in Nazi Germany history, so if anyone notices any inaccuracies, please point it out! I don't know how often I'll update, as of now there is no fixed schedule. I hope you enjoy!
