Lothrop Stoddard - Into The Darkness Nazi Germany Today

----
Lothrop Stoddard was an American writer, who was a well known racist in the early part of the 20th century. He wrote this little book about a trip to Germany in 1939 as Nazi Germany went to war. Stoddard spoke German, and his reputation was useful in gaining access to German officials.
Despite his reputation it is a rather clinical description of life in early WWII Nazi Germany.
For those interested in how things were for the man in the street sort of things, it is an interesting read. Stoddard was not a mindless booster of Hitler's Nazi party. This is a bit of an odd read. Life in Germany pre-WWII was different, and often, surprisingly primitive in some ways.
