A Night of Long Knives (Hannah Vogel)

by Cantrell, Rebecca

For more information on this period of German history, I consulted The Night of the Long Knives by Paul Maracin for a quick summary, The Gathering Storm by Winston Churchill, and The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer. For specific, heartbreaking details of life under the Nazis, I highly recommend Victor Klemperer’s diary I Will Bear Witness: A Diary of the Nazi Years, 1933–1941. Mel Gordon’s Voluptuous Panic: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin exhaustively documents the bars and nightclubs of the era.
