Antony Beevor

Opis

The Red Army had much to avenge when it finally reached the frontiers of the Reich in January 1945. Political instructors rammed home the message of Wehrmacht and SS brutality. This title reconstructs the experiences of those millions caught up in the nightmare of the Third Reich's final collapse, telling a story of pride, revenge and savagery.
