Opis

The last months of WWII were a nightmarish time to be alive. It was the end of the Third Reich & its terrible empire but also, it seemed to be the end of European civilization itself. Ian Kershaw describes these final months, from the failed attempt to assassinate Hitler in July 1944 to the German surrender in May 1945.
