Lots of great books on here. Matt, I got
Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory on my Kindle, standing by. If any of you like the espionage angle, you might really like
Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal:

It's about the British ex-crook and charmer playboy Eddie Chapman, who served as a double agent. And it's by the same author, Ben Macintyre. Apparently he likes long titles.
But it's both great reading and the result of solid research -- not always a combo you get everyday.
