explains why one would want to become a Nazi in 1930's

I don't have any book recommendations, but look around. See all the clown world shit you can't escape? The Weimar Republic had similar issues. They called it Weimar degeneracy for a reason. People were willing to put up with some rank shit to end the degeneracy. One of the first things the Nazis did was shut down the tranny clinics, which undoubtedly earned them a lot of good will. The Nazis did something no one else was willing to do, so people were willing to overlook the awful shit they did. Apparently it's too much to ask to learn from the past and take out the trash before some really awful people offer to do it in exchange for power.

Unfinished Victory by Arthur Bryant is the book you want for the degenerate state of Weimar Germany, although contemporary society makes Weimar look almost based in comparison. After WW2, Bryant tried to buy back and destroy all the copies of his book.

Unfortunately the nazis allowed degeneracy if the perpetrator was a nazi. For instance, a pedo nazi was excused, promoted or just not punished.

For US history, why not read primary sources? Documents written by founders/soldiers of Confederacy, articles from Confederate newspapers? Let them defend themselves and see if you find their defense worthy of their actions.

US isn't such an ancient country that this is impossibly difficult, especially for a native English speaker.

Jefferson Davis' former slave reflects fondly on the president of the Confederacy.

A perfect example of both letting the past speak for itself and that the US isn't so old. Civil War isn't even so ancient that one has to read: we have audio and video recordings and interviews of people who lived through it.

Jefferson Davis was a leader in the movement for the better treatment of slaves.

The largest laboratory in black economic independence was Davis Bend, a peninsula formed by the tortuous course of the Mississippi River just south of Vicksburg, which contained the huge plantations of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his brother Joseph. Davis Bend had already been the site of one Utopian experiment before the Civil War. Influenced by Joseph’s encounter with British socialist Robert Owen, the Davis brothers had attempted to establish a model slave community, with blacks far better fed and housed than elsewhere in the state and permitted an extraordinary degree of self-government, including a slave jury system that enforced plantation discipline. Other planters mocked “Joe Davis’s free negroes,” but the system enhanced the family’s reputation among blacks. After the war, one group of Mississippi freedmen pressed for Jefferson Davis’s release from prison because “altho he tried hard to keep us all slaves … some of us well know of many kindness he shown his slaves on his plantation.”

...When Joseph Davis fled his plantation in 1862, the slaves not only refused to accompany him, but broke into his mansion and appropriated clothing and furniture.

He was a far better man than the current president who condemns him, though of course a man of his time.

Thomas Carlyle's Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question is a defense of slavery and was extremely controversial at the time of its writing in mid 19th century Britain.

Not exactly pro-Nazi, but I found the book Hitler's True Believers by Gellately to be quite illuminating on why people found parts national socialism to be quite appealing.

For why Southerners felt threatened before the civil war, you may consult "A Disease in the Public Mind" by Thomas Fleming and "The Road to Disunion, Volume II" by William A. Freehling.

As with most things the truth about slavery in North America is a complicated issue. The civil war portion of the story is just a part of it and probably the least important part at that. The Spanish and French were battling for control of North America long before the British could even stake a small claim. And there were already well established slave trade routes in place by the time the British could sneak their way in. The trans-Atlantic slave trade as you’ve been taught is most certainly a lie. I would recommend the book From New Babylon to Eden by Bertrand Van Ruymbeke. Why this book? Charleston is the epicenter of what we know as the so called transatlantic slave trade. This book will show you how that happened and why. Dense reading with lots of research but it’s a good place to start if you want to get to the bottom of the biggest conspiracy of all time. Slavery in North America.

Not a book, and I haven't watched it yet because it's over 6 hours long, but this should be right up your alley. https://odysee.com/@CyberNews:c/The-Greatest-Story-Never-Told:7

Triumph of the Will is available, and I don't think you can get more "primary source" than that, while keeping in mind it is propaganda, and doesn't mean to hide that fact at all (because it was, in fact, made to celebrate both Germany and the NSDAP).

Oh, and the first few minutes is really just footage from out of an airplane window; keep in mind that not many people had flown yet, so it would have been pretty cool in 1935. Otherwise, most of it is speeches.

It's worth seeing just for historical interest.

Like everyone else says there should be plenty of literature from 1800s around the world. Not sure there is any writings promoting modern slavery

Domitius loves to shut down legitimate conversations and ban people who didn't break the rules, he has said that his goal is to prevent these sorts of topics on KiA2.

So you will get much better answers if you ask this question on ConsumeProduct, which doesn't censor these sorts of topics.

Storm of Steel is a great book if you want to see the horrors of trench warfare from the German perspective.
