Hitler's Home Front

Life in Nazi Germany during World War Two

By: Nathan Morley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

"One of the best new Nazi Germany books" - BookAuthority Hitler’s Home Front provides a compelling and comprehensive year-by-year account of ordinary life in wartime Germany, chronicling how the population tried to find normality during an unprecedented emergency. Drawing on a multitude of sources, this book spans from the mundane to the momentous, such as how people coped with rationing, crime, travel restrictions, bombing, and how civilian morale fluctuated as the war rapidly turned against the Nazis. The official newspapers of those years – including Das Reich, Völkischer Beobachter, and Der Angriff - show how the public learned about the successes and failures of their nation at war. As well as drawing on the vast archives of German newspapers, police reports, and diaries of the public and politicians - period speeches, private unpublished letters, broadcasts, Deutsche Wochenschau newsreels and witness accounts help to build a picture of daily living in Nazi Germany. From reaction to the dramatic events on the Eastern Front to the domestic difficulties of cooking with synthetic foods, life on the German home front is richly documented.

Perspective You Rarely Hear.

I'll address this since people LOVE to complain about it: No, Virtual Voice isn't perfect. Yes, it's makes mistakes. No, it can't tell this different between Polish(the people) and polish(what you do to wooden table,) but nobody is forcing you to listen. Buy the book. lol

These smaller, independently published books often can't afford to spend anything on a narrator. Let alone having to deal with SAG-Aftra, etc.

I'll take Virtual Voice over no audiobook- Those are your options... So to wrap this up, the book was awesome, the narration wasn't, but that doesn't the facts being presented. Listen to it!

truly interesting subject

I'll never care for AI no matter how imitative it gets. humans do it much better.

Virtual Voice is awful

A good story spoiled by the performance. I could only give the Virtual Voice 1 star as it was so bad. It was often difficult to understand what the voice was saying due to the terrible pronunciation. The worst example was pawlish instead of Polish, it was so bad but so funny at the same time. If I had paid for this book I would have returned it due to the performance. The author must be horrified at what they have done to their book.

Good read

This was a different perspective than many things I’ve read. It just tells what it was like for the average person experiencing this. I’m glad I read it/listened to it.

Good book. Robot narrator.

Painful listen. AI narration sucks. Lifeless. Can’t pronounce “polish.” If I didn’t have a WWII book goal for the year, I would’ve bailed earlier.
