I've gotten into the pattern of not giving book descriptions, but I want--maybe need--to quote this one:
When discussing the German war crimes of the Second World War, modern histories have focused on the Holocaust. While the Final Solution was a unique and unparalleled horror, German atrocities did not end there. The Nazis terrorized their own citizens, tortured and murdered POWs, and carried out countless executions throughout occupied Europe. Lord Russell of Liverpool was part of the legal team that brought Nazi war criminals to justice, and from this first-hand position, he published the sensational, bestselling The Scourge of the Swastika in 1954. Liverpool shows that the actions of the Third Reich, including the Holocaust, were illegal, not merely immoral.


According to BookBub,
Lord Russell, Britain’s legal adviser at Nuremberg, was forced to resign after penning a book about German war crimes. Here is the controversial work that ended his career — a shocking exposé of atrocities committed under the Nazi regime.
Although I have not independently verified the information about Lord Russell being deep-sixed over his book, I have a lot of trust in BookBub's statements.

May I make a short political statement? Thank you. I think that far more defendants at Nuremberg and other post-War trials (U.S. Army, et al.) should have been hung. Same goes for Japanese who participated in atrocities. There was far too much leniency, IMHO. If Lord Russell was fired for revealing the truth, shame on those responsible for firing him!

Rated 4.2 at Amazon; a very good 3.93 (162) at GoodReads.

87% off of the digital list price--$1.99.

This book gives a blow by blow account of not only Nazi atrocities in regards to the victims of the Holocaust but it's own people. The SS and other organizations acted with complete impunity against anyone who did not tow the line. This include both the people they occupied and there own citizens. It is a gut wrenching read that shows how despicable people can be given the opportunity.
