Can anyone recommend any books set in Nazi Germany or interestingly written non fiction books about the period. For an 18 year old

The Nine by Gwen Strauss is a non fiction book about some women in the resistance who were imprisoned in a concentration camp, and escaped the death marches. One of the women was related to the author.

My book group read it and everyone gave it either 4 or 5 stars.

Another recent non fiction book, written by Daniel Finkelstein, is Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad.
