The final stage of the Second World War, with the enemy across the
Reich's borders, saw final desperate battles for numerous
"fortified places" and blocking positions. Hitler ordered the
defense of these fortified places such as Koenigsberg and Breslau,
Wesel and Kolberg, Danzig, Posen and many others. In these isolated
bastions the war-weary German units offered desperate resistance,
offered for good purpose. This stubborn holding-on to the last
round saved hundreds of thousands of women and children, made
possible the evacuation of hospitals and the transport out of
surrounded Wehrmacht female auxiliaries. The fates of German
soldiers were realized in bunkers and caves, in tunnels and fields
of rubble. In the Hurtgenwald as in the Reichswald, during the
crossing of the Rhine between Wesel and Emmerich, in the Remagen
bridgehead, on the hill at Keppeln, in the Ruhr pocket, as well as
in the east of the Reich in the East Prussian pocket, in Pomerania,
in Silesia and in the Reich capital. Shocking scenes of apocalyptic
battle were played out wherever Hitler's last bastions held out
against the onrushing enemy, whether at the frontiers of the Reich
or inside Germany itself.
