Berlin, 1940. The city is paralysed by fear. But one man refuses to be scared.Otto, an ordinary German living in a shabby apartment block, tries to stay out of trouble under Nazi rule. But when he discovers his only son has been killed fighting at the front he's shocked into an extraordinary act of resistance, and starts to drop anonymous postcards attacking Hitler across the city. If caught, he will be executed.

What would I have done?
Revisado: 12-18-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have already recommended this book to several friends.
What other book might you compare Alone in Berlin to and why?
Like Markus Zusaks The Book Thief it let's you know how germans experienced the second world war. Which is a refreshing perspective.
Any additional comments?
This is a chilling tale where you soon realize that everybody is keeping an eye on each other (neighbours, friends, colleagues, relatives) and the risk of being reported to the Gestapo is always there. And if the Gestapo has got a good look at you they will always find something missing, no matter who you are.
So I kept thinking when I read the book: What would I have done? And the sad thing is, I think the answere might be: Nothing. The whole atmospere is so scary, I suppose most people would just lower their head, hope to sneak under the radar and wish for the whole thing to be over as soon as possible so everybody could start living.
