Subject(s): Summary: Draws on personal experiences to give reality and immediacy to the huge and complex events that finally led to the fall of Germany and the end of the Second World War in Europe. The author deliberately avoids extensive coverage of well known episodes such as the fall of Berlin, focusing instead not just on the military progress, but also on lesser known events such as the starvation winter of 1944 in Holland, the Red Army's drive westward across Prussia in which at least a million died, and the German camps (extermination, concentration, and POW) which operated with brutal efficiency until the very end of the war. The introduction provides a guide to the principal military commanders of all forces, and the book is illustrated with maps and photographs.
