Currently reading Travellers in the Third Reich, a book which documents everyday people's reactions to travelling within the Weimar Republic then Nazi Germany before World War II.

As you'd expect, it gets creepier and creepier as you go - as so many people don’t see what's going on underneath the surface vision of a state busily modernising. The section about the 1936 Olympics is particularly intriguing for that reason. Some people are awake though, and realise the horrors lying behind the curtain.

It's an intriguing read and often seems very familiar and timely... for, you know, reasons.
