Great book!

Great book on a part of history no one knows much about. It really shows the inside lives of the women who worked for the Nazi government, and that a woman can be just as, if not more, ruthless as a man. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn more about Germany during WW2 and what went on behind the scenes.
