I know you want non-fiction, but I'm going to give you a place to research via a fiction author. His name is Alan Furst, and he writes some amazing novels about spies in World War 2. His novel Kingdom of Shadows is a good look at the events and denial which led up to World War 2. His novels aren't fast-paced, over-the-top thrillers. They are very, very atmospheric, which will help you greatly with mood when reading the non-fiction.
Here's the part that may be more applicable to your request: There's a reason why he's such a brilliant writer about World War 2. It's because he reads almost exclusively about and from that time period. So I'd suggest doing a search on his name and see what he's currently reading and what he recommends reading. I don't think you could get a better recommended-reading list than one from him.
