Looking for a good WWII book

I recommend "The Third Reich: A New History" by Michael Burleigh. It's fairly academic in style, but it's extremely detailed and looks at the near religious/fanatical aspects of Hitler's ideas and rise to power. It's geared toward analysing germany, rather than the battles of the war, brilliant book.
 
Adolph Hitler by John Toland (the definitive Hitler biography)

The First and the Last and Horrido! by Adolf Galland (general of the fighter arm of the Luftwaffe with over 300 confirmed air victories)

Achtung Panzer! by Heinz Guderian (Panzer general and creator of the blitzkrieg style of attack)
 
Richard Overy "Why the Allies Won".

Very interesting, especially the economic side. Almost too much in it to be able to summarise, but always readable.
