*Code Name Verity* by Elizabeth Wein. The first half of the book is from the POV of a woman British Special Operations Executive operative captured by the Gestapo in France who is writing down her confession for the Gestapo Hauptsturmführer officer. The The Second half of the book is from the POV of the woman Air Transport Auxiliary pilot >!shot down while delivering the operative into France.!<

*Wolf by Wolf* by Ryan Graudin is a YA sci-fi book that takes place in the 1950s, if the US hadn’t gotten involved and the Nazis won the war. The main character is a girl who escaped Auschwitz as a child after being experimented on by Mengele, who inadvertently gave her the ability to shapeshift into different people, Mystique style.
Since her escape, she has joined the underground resistance and been trained as an assassin, and plans to assassinate Hitler, who has become reclusive and paranoid and is hardly ever out in public. The only way to get close to him is to win a cross-continental motorbike race from Berlin to Tokyo, where the winner gets to attend a victory ball where Hitler will be present.
Since it’s a YA book, there’s some romance, but I just love the idea of a shapeshifter competing in a cross-continental motorbike race in the 1950s. It’s the first of a duology.

*Fugitive Pieces* by Anne Michaels. It’s also the best book that’s ever been written, about anything, ever – so, that’s a plus?!

I liked 5 quarters of the orange by Joanne Harris. Is about young siblings in France who befriend a German soldier without realising the significance of the gossip they tell him about their townsfolk.

It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis. Sadly relevant for the current day despite being nearly 90 years old. Definitely about *nazism* although it doesn’t contain any Nazis.

I absolutely loved “fatherland” by Robert Harris.
It’s about a criminal police officer in a 1950s germany, that (kinda) won ww2, and investigates a series of murders leading him down a rabbit hole he shouldn’t look into.

The Villains in Guardians of Ga’hoole are disturbingly close to Nazis for a children’s series I think from book 2 to six.
