As someone from Scotland who is now 57. I was totally hooked on the 2nd world war, as a kid, teenager and for most of my adult life. Read hundreds of books on the subject. This is the holy grail of any book you need to read on the rise of Nazi Germany. Shirer was there and witnessed it until kicked out of Germany.

I’ve listened to this audiobook a dozen times now. It’s just amazing that the author was one of two correspondents that got the scoop on where/when France would sign the surrender. His description of the events transports my imagination right there. I can see the look on Hitler’s face. I can feel his ‘defiance’. I sense the humiliation of the French generals and the triumph of the Germans. I LOVE history.

Right and wrong. It's a treasure trove of information, but the book is definitely not suitable for readers who are just starting to read up on the subject and want to get a rough overview first.
@winnietheshrew2957 over the years I have stopped myself from the need to always be a completionist. It's definitely worth while to treat things like a handbook and to learn the big picture and just learn when needed or when wanted.

What is so extraordinary in comparison to Churchill’s famous quote “ Never in the History of mankind, has so much been owed by so many to so few”. The Nazi’s- never in the history of mankind has So few caused so much horror on so many”
I don't know I think Mao and Stalin had him beat ten times over and were far more egregious in their treatment of those whom helped them to power. I've always said I'd rather be an enemy of Hitler than a friend of Stalin
Wow! I'm so impressed with this book. I just stumbled on it but i think listening to this stuff makes one wiser. The story is more riveting than the best novel.
I'm only 3 hours in and I've learned two things already that I've always questioned. It always seemed really strange to me that Hitler got out of jail. After just a year and a month during good times in the country. All the explanations never made a lot of sense. What he just said makes me understand why it wasn't just Hitler. This is something that had been already instilled and has been done previously
The country was massively divided too with the judiciary being more nationalist and sympathetic and the government being more leftwing. The government would be less likely to send police and troops after communist but if they did end up Infront of a judge they'd get the book thrown at them.

Can anyone kindly suggest books that are along the same line? I have absolutely loved this and I am only half way (listening for probably a week) and afraid of finishing it.
A good read,thanks very much however my understanding is that Shirer made substantial changes to early parts of his diary such as revising his early higher opinion of Hitler in his published text
A good follow up book for this one: “Aftermath, Life in the Fallout of the Third Reich, 1945 - 1955” By Harold Jahner 2019 Translated by Shaun Whiteside 2021. A great look into how Germany cleaned up the rubble and did or didn’t deal with their immediate past. How they took the first steps toward becoming the powerful nation it is today.
I remember this book from when I was a kid in the 1960s, because it was the thickest book my parents had in the bookcase. Many years later, I actually read the whole thing. It's pretty much the standard work on the history of the 3rd Reich, written by a highly capable writer who was actually there for most of it. Shirer had actually met some of the high Nazis like Ribbentrop and Rosenberg. Not many historians have had that close a look at these people and lived to tell the comprehensive tale.
That's true, but even he didn't get all the details 100% right. Most of today's historians - and all the German historians I've read, too - don't agree with Shirer's theory that the Nazis planned the Reichstag fire, for example. The current consensus is that Van der Lubbe acted alone. Nevertheless, this is still an immensely valuable historical account and it's fascinating to listen to this great man's perspective. I only wish the narrator knew how to pronounce German words correctly.
@cuewizchris I never bought the theory where van der Lubbe was a lone wolf, and I still don't. He had what today we would call 'learning difficulties'. The Reichstag was a huge building, and all he had on him was some matches. There are some real questions that have never been answered. How did he get in there? How did he get the fire started that quickly? The whole building was burning when they caught him, without an accelerant. A lone man with learning difficulties decides to conveniently set fire to the seat of parliament a month after a new government is installed, creating an excuse to declare martial law and suspend parliament indefinitely? With 1 box of matches? I'm not buying it. Someone let him in there, and he must have had help. From whom remains the question. A communist plot wasn't proven at the time and hasn't been found afterwards. I can't prove it, but I think the Nazis did it, and those that helped van der Lubbe didn't survive the Night of the Long Knives in 1934.
@@maartenvandam344 Due to a phenomenon called backdraft, it's possible to cause a fire that develops very quickly. Breaking into a building and setting stuff on fire doesn't require much of an intellect.. You're right in that it's hard to imagine that the Nazis didn't plan it because it was so incredibly convenient for their plans. I'm not an expert on arson, but being German I have read tons of German language sources. We may never be able to give a definitive answer, but I think Shirer making the positive point that the Nazis did indeed plan it without having irrefutable evidence is questionable. It doesn't matter what seems the most logical explanation. Proof is what matters.
This book is highly informative and educational. However, the writing does come off sometimes as an Arrogant American, peppered with petty judgements and cheap shots at its people involved. What the West always fails to realize is that, to many other countries, Democracy is not the be all-end all savior of the people. Freedom is never free. There is always a cost. So, it’s always beneficial to keep a balanced viewpoint, without defending one side or the other.
I bought the audio book to this years ago after I had the paperback book version and it was worth it. I had this book when I was in the Navy but tore the cover off because it had a swastika on the cover. I deplore the Nazis but did not want it to become an issue if someone saw the cover. I have found that sometimes if you read history about the Nazi Germany people think that you admire it but that is not the case. In fact I see many parallels with what is happening today in America. The rank and file MAGA crowd in this country need to study what happened to the SA (The brown shirts). Once a dictator gets control he no longer needs the people who helped get him there and they are eventually betrayed and at best discarded. The rich and powerful think they can "control" the dictator but it does not happen.
The best-known holder of the rank of Gefreiter was Adolf Hitler who held the rank in WW1 Gefreiter was more like a Private 1st Class. A Gefreiter could lead small patrols, watches, acted as room senior The rank was not considered a NCO, Hitler being called a Bohemian corporal was a derogatory term used (privately) in World War II for Adolf Hitler by German generals
A good counter to this book is "Stalin's revolution from above" It's really easy to see who was the true enemy after it's amazing how anyone could see what communists do to other time and time again and think their good guys
Shirer also wrote a fat book on the fall of France and establishment of the Vichy regime, titled "The Collapse of the Third Republic." He was a brilliant reporter. His "Berlin Diary" is a great eyewitness account of the rise of the Nazis from a foreigner's perspective--and a quicker, easier read.
So...read the rest or better...create your own complete audio version after you get permission from the copywrite holder...I'm sure your version will be better than any other version known...🙄

I don´t know man, when people defend impressionist paintings as beautiful i become hesitant... it is just weird shit put into a painting, according to me. Don´t get me wrong, all art should have a place, but one mans meat is another mans poison. Just because this author didn´t like the "new" german art(NSDAP approved), does not mean it was bad or good... only that it was ugly according to him. His homophobic standing is weird, considering he is judgeing the Nazis as repulsive and degenarate in his whole book, because of homosexual relations... Did he really think there were none English, Jewish, American etc homosexuals fighting the Nazis with their lives at stake and with great seal? Nor among his beloved painters, playwrights or other artists whom the German state threw out, killed or jailed ? Talk about living in a bubble. Probably a christian with a healthy hate towards everything that their holy book loves to hate(remind me again what the old testament teaches about homosexualls?) The fact is that the Nazis had a campaing of terror against the gay community, wich he totaly ignores, probably because he thought they did the world a good thing in that case... "Although an eye-witness news reporter in Germany from 1926-41, Shirer’s book makes no mention of the Nazi anti-gay terror. Headline-making attacks, such as the ransacking of the headquarters of the German homosexual rights movement by fascist students and storm troopers on 6 May 1933, do not merit even a footnote. Shirer does, of course, cite the notorious Nazi book-burning in Berlin four days later but fails to acknowledge that many of the 20,000 torched volumes were from the trashed headquarters of the gay movement, the Institute for Sexual Science."
This is accurate, written by a correspondent that was an eyewitness to the events. And with the use of tens of thousands of documents. Listen to the introduction.
I wondered the same thing. After all, Shirer was not present at the negotiations (for example, about the surrender of the Czech Republic) or the discussions with his generals. He must have read an enormous number of eyewitness accounts, statements at the Nuremberg Tribunal and the like.

“The unforgivable sin of Hitler’s Germany was to develop a new economic system by which the international bankers were deprived of their profits.”
- Winston Churchill
Based and facts
You can't study the facts about this period and not see Hitler as legitimate in his goal for his people.
Whereas Stalin and any communist is beyond frustrating in their lack of respect for their friends or people.

I don´t know man, when people defend impressionist paintings as beautiful i become hesitant... it is just weird shit put into a painting, according to me. Don´t get me wrong, all art should have a place, but one mans meat is another mans poison. Just because this author didn´t like the "new" german art(NSDAP approved), does not mean it was bad or good... only that it was ugly according to him.
His homophobic standing is weird, considering he is judgeing the Nazis as repulsive and degenarate in his whole book, because of homosexual relations... Did he really think there were none English, Jewish, American etc homosexuals fighting the Nazis with their lives at stake and with great seal? Nor among his beloved painters, playwrights or other artists whom the German state threw out, killed or jailed ?
Talk about living in a bubble. Probably a christian with a healthy hate towards everything that their holy book loves to hate(remind me again what the old testament teaches about homosexualls?)
The fact is that the Nazis had a campaing of terror against the gay community, wich he totaly ignores, probably because he thought they did the world a good thing in that case...
"Although an eye-witness news reporter in Germany from 1926-41, Shirer’s book makes no mention of the Nazi anti-gay terror. Headline-making attacks, such as the ransacking of the headquarters of the German homosexual rights movement by fascist students and storm troopers on 6 May 1933, do not merit even a footnote. Shirer does, of course, cite the notorious Nazi book-burning in Berlin four days later but fails to acknowledge that many of the 20,000 torched volumes were from the trashed headquarters of the gay movement, the Institute for Sexual Science."
How much truth was there compared to post war allied propaganda?
I also hope the narritive was fair, I am doubltful but like I said, hopeful.
This is accurate, written by a correspondent that was an eyewitness to the events. And with the use of tens of thousands of documents. Listen to the introduction.
@@garyharden TL;DR
I wondered the same thing. After all, Shirer was not present at the negotiations (for example, about the surrender of the Czech Republic) or the discussions with his generals. He must have read an enormous number of eyewitness accounts, statements at the Nuremberg Tribunal and the like.
It's pretty good with only a little personal opinion scattered in.
Still no matter how much they try, his accomplishments and genuine conviction from ww1 till the end is there.

What on Earth is this garbled vomit AI art you chose to use. You really couldn't be bothered to find a picture of WW2 you could use? How hard could that have even been? What is any of that even supposed to be a picture of?
Lol, yeah, a person who is not Hitler, a tank that could just about pass as a T 34, but at least the Reichstag building is depicted accurately.

This is AMAZING! Must read!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙🦩
"tise and fall of the thid the Third Reich" LOL almost as funny as the vaguely Austrian (because of the colors) flags over the building vaguely resemling the reichkanzlerei dienst.
How about the HORRORS going on NOW in Palestine? We can do nothing about what happened 80 years ago but we can STOP those happening now.
So we should forget all history , cool story bro 👊🏼
@@Lexington125 Well, the zionists have forgotten history, or perhaps they learned from it too well. Only now the zionists are the nazis and the Palestinians are the victims. I am on the side of the victims as I would have been 80 years ago.
Is that LBJ?
Not even close. But I also wonder who that is.
@@JasonOliver-v7g lmao...I think it is
I can deny the plague killed anyone, I can deny Mohammed and Christ but there is only one event that the denial of is against the law.
And that’s how you know they’re lying.
@@realolivertwisted You should read Shirer's book; you'd be a better person for it.
This book is not about history but a collection of opinions too dangerously close to cheap low-level propaganda.
Shirer.......hmmm, ever notice all the names??? Look up who wrote the guns of august too...lovely irish Catholic names,huh?
Its like reading about the Democratic Party in the US
You misspelled Republican Party
@@drilldrulus1235 ...yes, exactly...the senile old president picked a successor that was not qualified, who is already making outrageous promises and who, if elected, will surround herself with loyal "party" members regardless of their lack of experience or qualifications and appoint them to all the key government posts. AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT BE GOING TO WAR WITH RUSSIA. Very good analogy my friend, you are spot on!

@johnlpphils3311 clearly, didn't pay attention to the video properly. Comparing totalitarian dictatorship to MAGA? I'm not american,but the third reich is more similar to the US left than the the conservatives.
It's obvious that this guy, never so much has been as manifested as then. Alas, no one cares now
Jesus Christ is coming back soon amen 🙏!!!
Satan is your friend
@@aledaandytaylor2613 Amen!
Jesus said obey the commandments. Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day. Jesus taught at the synagogues. The Romans made a sign that said Jesus was the king of the Jews. If Jesus was not Jewish, then he could not have fulfilled prophecy. Chamberlain knows nothing.
So what?
1: Jesus was a israelite, NOT a jew.
2: Jew means son of Judah, Jesus wasn't a descendant of the jews.
3: the Romans wanted to smear Jesus by calling him "King of Jews" since Jews were already EXTREMELLY hated in Rome.
4: Jesus LITERALLY CALLS Jews "the synagogues of Satan"
5: Jesus warns in Apocalypse that jews would bring an era of degeneracy.
Jesus isn't a jew and never was.
