Summary:

On 16 April 1945 the Red Army unleashed a colossal offensive against
Berlin with the aim of destroying Hitler's armies in the East and
capturing the German capital before the Western Allies. Over two
million soldiers confronted each other in the last act in the war
against Nazi Germany.In the course of the next three weeks,
relentless Soviet assaults crashed against a desperate, sometimes
suicidal defense, and the historic city was turned into a vast
battleground. This was the climax of an awful conflict. It
represented the death struggle of Hitler's Third Reich and the
supreme achievement of Stalin's forces, and the story of the battle
has fascinated students of warfare ever since. Yet this epic contest
can only be understood by visiting the sites of the battle on the
ground, on the outskirts of the city, in the suburbs, in the city
center where the final dramatic combat took place. And this is the
aim of Tony Le Tissier's definitive guide to the Battle of Berlin.
