Unbroken question

The two that immediately come to mind are 'All The Light We Cannot See' and 'The Book Thief'

Have you read The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom? It's a story of an extraordinary family helping the anti-Nazi underground and then Corrie's miraculous survival story after being sent to a concentration camp.

To Hell and Back, by Audie Murphy, is an amazing biographical account of what is was like to be a soldier fighting in WWII.

He was a 19 (!) year old American hero who probably hated to be called a hero. It seems all true heroes do, claiming they were just doing their jobs.

Audie Murphy lead men twice his age, making huge life saving contributions during battle. His was an incredible action story, to say the least. He became an actor (soon?) there after returning home.

The story is written in the style of the area with lots of 1940's military slang. That style feels sort of stilted at first to a modern reader, but within a couple pages, I was sucked right into the story and didn't get hung up on the style. The jargon was interesting.

His accounts of battles and his friendship with those in his platoon set me up for some emotional surprises. The previous poster asked for other books about what it was like during WWII? This is a compelling perspective I recommend.

Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein is a fictional account of a female transport pilot who finds herself taken prisoner by the Nazis. Rose is a civilian, so she is not held in a POW camp, but in a concentration camp with several dozen Polish women who endured terrible medical experiments. It was probably the best book I've read so far this year.
