Reading suggestions for Germany (WWII or otherwise)?

by _o_O_o_O_o_

Hi, I'm traveling to Munich and Berlin for a few days in May. The trip is designed around visiting Dachau, Sachsenhausen and generally exploring the cities.

I have previously visited Krakow and Auschwitz and reading the aligned literature really helped me understand the place more.

While I have previously read several books about life in concentration camps and stuff like Anne Frank, are there any books that I could read before travelling to appreciate my trip more?

(Doesn't need to be WWII related, I also am intrigued by the old german folk tales)

Thank you all!

Based off of a British Museum exhibition, I found Germany: Memories of a Nation did what you're asking.

It was also available as a BBC Radio 4 podcast, which is still free to listen/download

It is possibly more useful for the cities than the concentration camps.
