Zusammenfassung: "In early 1945, the Red Army plunged into the Third Reich from the east, rolling up territory and crushing virtually everything in its path, with one exception: the city of Breslau, which Hitler had declared a fortress-city, to be defended to the death. Breskau held out longer than any other German city in 1945, its civilians enduring a bitter four-month struggle as Nazi leaders resorted to brutal methods to keep their soldiers fighting and maintain order. Hargreaves vividly reconstructs the defense and ultimate surrender of Breslau as well as the nightmare that followed as Red Army victors shipped Germans to Soviet prisons and starved, plundered, and expelled civilians from their homes,"--back cover |
