"The Last Battle" by Cornelius Ryan, story of the battle for Berlin, and why the Allies didn't go there
"Hitler's Naval War" by Cajus Bekker, a translation by a German author
The Ballantine illustrated series are good short studies of various aspects of the war

Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It will keep you busy for a while.
Also recently read Panzer Commander. It's good as well and written from the Gernan perspective.
Unbroken is an awesome survival/POW story as well.
