Battleground Prussia: The Assault on Germany's Eastern Front 1944-45

by Prit Buttar Narrated by Nigel Patterson

Overview

The terrible months between the arrival of the Red Army on German soil and the final collapse of Hitler's regime were like no other in the Second World War. The Soviet Army's intent to take revenge for the horror that the Nazis had wreaked on their people produced a conflict of implacable brutality in which millions perished.



From the great battles that marked the Soviet conquest of East and West Prussia to the final surrender in the Vistula estuary, this book recounts in chilling detail the desperate struggle of soldiers and civilians alike. These brutal campaigns are brought vividly to life by a combination of previously unseen testimony and astute strategic analysis recognizing a conflict of unprecedented horror and suffering.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

A powerful pick... It comes packed with action shots and photos, first-hand accounts from soldiers on both sides — most of which have never appeared in English — and follows the months between the arrival of the Red Army in Germany to the collapse of Hitler's regime. No military collection strong in World War II should be without this specific, in-depth analysis.” —The Midwest Book Review (December 2010)

“...[a] marvelously written and illustrated new work with excellent maps on a series of battles too long overlooked ... deserves to be read by any true devotee of World War II.” —Military Advisor (Winter 2010/2011)
