The Anatomy of Hell

[rich]

I just read KL and I wouldnt underestimate just how comprehensive and
informative the book is. It is very sobering reading to be sure but I think
a good reminder of the evils of Nazism considering how we view it today
through popular culture as usually the butt of a joke.
What really surprised me was the vast satellite network of camps
distributed all over the confines of the Reich and beyond. we tend to think
of like 6 camp names but the network was vast and makes one shudder
