Quote #10
The people were there, and the land—the first dazed and bleeding and hungry, and, when winter came, shivering in their rags in the hovels which the bombings had made of their homes; the second a vast wasteland of rubble. (6.31.240)
This is what it came to for the citizens of Germany. Shirer shows us what war really is. It's not the glorious experience Hitler's vision of great and glorious war. The nation and its people that Hitler had promised to raise to new heights, was pounded into rubble and misery. No "ethical health" or "purification" that we can see here.
