From a Work of Fiction

“The Gestapo was the state security service, and men were often promoted by reason of their loyalty to Hitler and enthusiasm for fascism rather than because of their brains or ability.”

For some reason that sentence jumped out at me as if Hitler was someone’s case study in doing bad things and getting away with it.

Jackdaws - Ken Follett. Published 2001

Female spies working for the allies in 1944 France. 60 pages in. 8 days before D-Day. Fiction, but so far a good read.
