Looking for novels set in Nazi Germany for a teen DD

One of the most riveting books I ever read as a young teenager was called "Ulrike and the War" (in Swedish - not sure if it exists in translation). Written from the point of view of a Nazi Youth brainwashed girl. Absolutely harrowing. Followed by "Ulrike and the Peace". No idea if they were ever translated into English but if they have been then I'd highly recommend them!

I'd recommend the recently-published A Berlin Love Song by Sarah Matthias.

Yes, that's the one. Read it with the Book Thief. Delectable.

Is it Kate Atkinson's A Life After Life that has a strand about being a young person sucked into the Hitler Youth and eventually Hitler's inner circle? And contrasted with other strands set in England?

She is very readable.

Off to google the Clara Vine books, sound right up my street! Never heard of them.

Another vote for the Past is Myself.
And for the Silver Sword, though that's set in Poland.

The Bernie Guenther novels are rather dark in places. I decided to stop reading them when someone came to a sticky end in a wine press. My DH likes them though.

Slightly less dark (except for the last one) are the Station books by David Downing. The last one has a rape scene where a teenage girl is murdered by a Russian soldier so not sure that's one to recommend but the rest of the series are ok.

Not a book but the Secret Army DVDs - set in Belgium but very good.

Enemy at the Door - based on the German occupation of the Channel Islands also available on DVD.

Sophie Scholl- the movie about her is brilliant.

A pp said the only book they read on the subject was "Mein Kampf". Only book? WTF?
Read it without other books? Very odd. And rather disturbing idea.

It's partly set in occupied Holland and might be of interest if no one has mentioned it - Postcards From No Man's Land. A fantastic book.

another one. related if not quite on topic: die welle (the wave) by dennis gansel

Bit late to this thread, but would like to add Jane Thynne's Clara Vine novels - they start before the war. Clara is a half English-half German actress who is initially drawn into the world of the women of the Nazi high command and gradually becomes a spy. They are fabulous on the period detail of day to day life and terrific stories as well. They touch on various points of history that you might not know. I believe Jane Thynne is married to Philip Kerr, mentioned up thread. They must have a wonderful time on research trips together!

This is a really interesting list, I've just downloaded a load to read.

The Devil in Vienna has long been a favourite of mine. So so good.

Loads and loads out there.
The first few may be too young, but here goes.... The Promise by Eva Schloss, The Boy in Striped Pyjama's by John Boyne and Auslander by Paul Dowswell.
There's some great YA/older kids ones like Pennies for Hitler by Jackie French, The Earth is Singing by Vanessa Curtis and new book Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys and yes of course The Book Thief.
Some small but hard hitting adults books are The Auschwitz Violin by Maria Angeles Anglada, the famous Night by Elie Wiesel and A Meal In Winter by Hubert Mingarelli.
Hope these are helpful!

We have a fabulous Aussie author (he came to Oz from the UK) called Morris Gleitzman and he's written a trilogy about the Nazi years (1939 - 1945 with a more modern update set in Australia). The first one is Once and he write about it here www.morrisgleitzman.com/once.htm plus he lists loads of book he used for research. Might be helpful ...

My vote also goes to Alone in Berlin. Amazing read.

I've just remembered another one: 'Sirius' by Jonathan Crowne.

It's about life in the Third Reich (and Hollywood) through the eyes of a dog.

It's non-fiction but if I had to recommend one (very short, easy-to-read but life-changing) book about that period it would be Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner. It's a primary source - written in 1939 by a German aristocrat and lawyer, later very successful journalist, who had fled to England just prior to the start of war, it's both an autobiography and a psychological analysis of the Nazis. Written in astonishingly flawless English as a guide for the British, to give them an insight into their enemy's psyche, its lessons will stay with you, and explain the how and why of far right extremism, as relevant now as it was when it was written.

A masterpiece, and intensely readable - elegant and simple at once. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Other than this, I'd second Isherwood.

How about Summer of my German Soldier? It's set in the USA during WWII and is about the friendship between a young Jewish American girl and a German POW.

Another vote for Mischling, Second Degree. I can't actually remember what age I was when I read it, but it has stayed with me.

chocolate cake with hitler by Emma craigee is very easy to read and pitched well for a teen. It's the story of goebbels children.

There's a book about Sophie Scholl as well as the film mentioned: "Sophie Scholl and the White Rose".

ElinorRigby.

Another vote for "The Past is Myself."

The Bielenbergs had friends involved in the assassination attempt on Hitler, and at one stage were questioned by the Gestapo. There's a lot of stuff about daily life in Germany - disconnecting the telephone to avoid bugging, finding out the children's friends' mother also "listens with her ear against the radio" (ie is listening to the BBC), the reception of a downed US airman towards the end of the war.
