I'd recommend the prison diaries of Albert Speer. Speer was one of Hitler's right hand men who got put in prison with a few other Nazis (those who weren't executed) after the war, and the diary charts the years of his imprisonment: 1946-1966. He talks a lot about his relationship with Hitler and the hows and whys of how he got involved with the regime.
Speer also wrote a detailed autobiography called "Inside the Third Reich" which is also very interesting but less personal and spontaneous than the diaries (and less honest, some have claimed).
Anyway, he's just about the only high-ranking Nazi who wrote about his experiences (and he's a good writer too, which helps) so definitely worth a look if you're interested in this kind of thing.

Yes, please look up books on the 2ND world war hero "Desmond T. Doss" who was a conscientious objector (and medic) who pulled his platune to safety while under open fire. He won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Which is one of the highest honors bestowed by government to the military
