It seems like every book on Germany in the history section of every bookstore is all about World War Two.

Well, it wasn't technically called Germany back then. I'm not too good on history from the middle ages, but when I typed "Germany in the middle ages" (include the quotes) into dogpile.com (my most-used search engine), it came up with a bunch of stuff.
Try these links, and from there you can get ideas of other book subjects to look under: * http://art1.candor.com/barbarian/suevi.htm * http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/tacitus1.html
Or, even better yet, try this link. The guy teaches about Germany in the middle ages, and he has written books on it, which are listed on the page: http://www.folwell.umn.edu/gsd/faculty/RW.html
Hope this helps!
