the following two books might be of interest:

In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson is about the first American Ambassador to Nazi Germany. Chilling and fascination.

A Train in Winter by Caroline Moorehead is about some 230 French women who were in the Resistance, who were caught by the Nazis and sent off to the death camps in January of 1943. This one is heartbreaking because of the horrors of the death camps.

Again, I know that these are not what you've asked for, but they touch on both those themes.
