"There Were Nazis In The Village "; A Little Known Story of the Third Reich


Listen Later

Delve into the heart of World War II-era Germany with an intimate portrayal, casting a spotlight on the lives of ordinary individuals residing in the charming Bavarian village of Oberstdorf, all under the shadow of Nazi rule. This compelling narrative comes from a distinguished author, recognized as a past recipient of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History.

Amidst the serene Bavarian mountains, Oberstdorf has long been a bastion of simplicity and tradition, a world apart from the tumultuous events shaping history elsewhere. However, even in this secluded haven, the relentless grasp of the Nazi regime could not be eluded.

Julia Boyd is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History, Travelers in the Third Reich. Her previous books include A Dance with the Dragon: The Vanished World of Peking's Foreign Colony, The Excellent Doctor Blackwell: The Life of the First Woman Physician and Hannah Riddell: An Englishwoman in Japan. As the widow of a former diplomat, she lived in Germany from 1977 to 1981. She lives in London.
