By March 1945, the Red Army had closed in on Berlin. Marshal
Zhukov, with almost a million soldiers and 20,000 tanks and guns at
his disposal, launched his assault of the Seelow Heights. While
costly with 30,000 Russians killed, it brought the Russian Army to
the gates of the capital. On 20 April, Hitler's 56th birthday,
Soviet artillery began a massive bombardment of the doomed city.
The Fuhrer ordered every soldier, Hitlerjugend and Volksstrum to
fight to the death. The house-to-house fighting that followed was
brutal and savage with heavy casualties for both military and
civilians. Using superb Russian and German imagery this fine Images
of War series book describes the Russian assault and Nazi
last-ditch defence of Hitler's capital during the final days of the
Third Reich.
