If you want an unusual book about WWII that is not about the Holocaust, I can recommend The Fifteen by William Geroux.
Did you know that during WWII, about 400,000 German POWs were transported to the US and kept in hastily constructed prison camps throughout the US? Many were put to work on local farms and in local factories to make up for the local boys who joined the armed services and went to fight in the war.
This book describes these efforts and focuses on fifteen German POWs who were put on trial for murdering other German POWs who the inmates judged were either collaborators with the American guards or who were judged not Nazi enough.
But the book also documents instances where, for example, German POWs held in the South were taken to a local restaurant where their African American guards were not permitted to enter, or taken to a local movie theater where their African American guards had to sit in the balcony because the places were segregated.
An interesting story not typical of other WWII books.

Omnipotent Government by Ludwig Von Mises. It’s not so much about ww2 or the holocaust, but it’s about why Hitler rose to power and the german economy.
