Title: An Yankee in Hitler's Germany
Review: What possible historical subject could get this exciting?When Stoddard the anthropologist visited wartime Germany Pearl Harbor had not yet happened, and so he was able to approach his subject--a social history of Nazi Germany at war.And being neutral Stoddard's work lacks the often-hysterical tone of professional "pro-" or "anti-Nazi" pieces of much of the period's genre.Having access as a scientist to a variety of German institutions Stoddard gives us a grounded look into how Germans of all station in life viewed such issues as social policy, foreign policy, Jews, and the German leadership. His chilling look into a "Eugenics Court" where "undesirables" were judged is worth the price of the book alone.Not to be missed.
