Rise and fall of the third reich. A fascinating account of Nazi Germany under Hitler.
My sources are books, I have a decent Hitler library. I recommend Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Hitler's Willing Executioners, Life and Death of Adolf Hitler, and of course Mein Kampf (Among many others.) I distinctly remember one of the reasons for never taking his coat off in public was because he would pour sweat before his speeches. Once he got going he was great, but before he was a nervous wreck. I attempted to look on the internets, but couldn't find a reliable source. Edit: If you really want a great comprehensive read about Germany in World War 2, I HIGHLY recommend Rise and Fall of the Third Reich....its a must read. http://www.amazon.com/The-Rise-Fall-Third-Reich/dp/0671728687
I also read Rise and Fall and came here to recommend it.
People were spending more due to heavy state encouragement to buy-buy-buy and a job placement program working with major industries that ensured that every worker could find a job. IG Farben, Krupp, Siemens, and other major German companies gladly went along.
Read Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer (http://www.amazon.com/The-Rise-Fall-Third-Reich/dp/0671728687) if you want to have adult conversations. But, since you most likely won't do that this is enough to shut you up:

And if you want to know any more history, hire a tutor because you clearly need one.
My parents encouraged me to read as a kid. They enrolled me in the Pizza Hut Book It program that incentivised reading by giving you a personal pan pizza after you read so many books. I read mostly Hardy Boys, and Goose Bumps.
I really started reading my freshamn year in college. I got all depressed and a buddy of mine gave me The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich to pass the time. I am not sure how, but that book changed my life. Ever since I have been a voraciouse reader. Its like something just clicked.
I saw a lot of documentaries about WWII and specially about Germany (only half of them made in USA btw). but they all together gave less knowledge than single book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
This book changed my view about a lot of things regarding WWII and Nazi Germany. And I stopped thinking about Hitler as crazy maniac who didn't understand what he was doing but rather as representative of time and conditions Germany was in
EDIT: there is one and another film made on this book, first one is crap, don't try to see it, about second one I know nothing
If you're into WWII, I cannot stress enough what a great book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany is.
