Some very interesting descriptions of how the Nazis surveyed and organized data on German public opinion, although when you have an inclination to send people who don't like you to concentration camps or worse, the validity of the data has to be suspect. Also, there was competition between agencies which distorted the results, and behind it all, Hitler saying, "Don't tell me the public mood is bad. It's your job to make the public mood good." Fascinating. Good stuff for my novel.

For a history class, very informative a bit boring at times unfortunately.
