    I've seen an increasing number of books written from the perspective of Nazis now, too. The last one was just before christmas in a branch of Waterstones; some historical fiction about the battle of Stalingrad... Edit

    Oh yeah, there was this tv docu series about tank battles, something like histories biggest tank battles or something, I can't remember, but Desert Storm was one of the stories (or maybe it was Iraqi Freedom?). They had this American soldier as a talking head, and he mentioned how they had a picture of Heinz Guderian hung up either in their tank or back at base. They captured a POW during the battle and this Iraqi guy was like "why the fuck do you have a picture of a Nazi on your wall? Weren't you guys on different sides?" and the yankee had to come up with some bullshit about how he only respects Guderian for his development of tank battle tactics or something.

      I haven't watched it in years but there is a movie called Stalingrad from the perspective of the Nazis. I'm sure I'm remembering it wrong but what I remember is three hours of the Nazis dying in the most miserable fashion imaginable until the handful of survivors wander out of the city with no supplies to freeze to death.

        Haha I remember that one, where they're starving and the supply drop is just full of medals. Good times
