Hi, Picked up a good book the other day in the bargain section of the local book store called: "Last Days of the Reich," by James Lucas.

It's a small book, around 200+ pages in total, and it mainly describes the various events that happened to the civilians and soldiers of the defeated German nation in the imediate post-war period. What it mainly tells us is that genicidal practices were not just practiced by the Nazis during World War II.

Now some may say that they deserved what they got, but the author says, and I agree, that this kind of massive cold-blooded killing of not only the surrendered soldiers, but of women and children of German heritage as well, does not give any honor to their killers, and reduces them to the same level as those Nazis who were responsible for the mass executions during the war.

But very unfortunately, this is a very common aspect of human nature that we have yet to grown out of, and may never do so.

A very good book about another aspect of the war that is not often covered by the average historian.

Thanks and take care, Sgirty
