Sharmi Albrechtsen was a true Hindu-American princess. Obsessed with shoes and handbags and designer labels, she saw status and wealth as the only route to happiness.

~~|title=The True German: The Diary of a World War II Military Judge~~

~~|author=Werner Otto Muller-Hill and Benjamin Carter Hett~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Autobiography~~

|summary=We've had diaries of teenagers, opium addicts, drug smugglers, and a lot more. Some of them have been optimistic, happy things, and many not. Clearly World War II was not a place for a terribly cheerful outlook, whatever the diarist. However sometimes it was not the done thing to be pessimistic, for example when you were in the huge German military and were publicly denigrating the dreamt-of Nazi success. Such ''corrosion of morale'' would mean you being put in front of a three-man military tribunal, and most probably sentenced for such treacherous behaviour. The startling thing about this book, however, is that it contains much that would certainly have been deemed ''corrosion of morale'', yet it was written by one of the very military judges who served on those panels.
