The last year of the war saw Russian offensives that cleared the
Germans out of their final strongholds in Finland and the Baltic
states, before advancing into Finnmark in Norway and the east
European states that bordered Germany: Poland, Czechoslovakia and
Hungary. By spring 1945 the Red Army had reached to Vienna and the
Balkans, and had thrust deep into Germany where they met American,
French and British troops advancing from the west. The final days
of the Third Reich were at hand. Berlin was first surrounded, then
attacked and taken. Hitler's suicide and his successors'
unconditional surrender ended the war. For writers and historians
who concentrate on the Western Allies and the battles in France and
the Low Countries, the Eastern Front comes as a shock. The sheer
size of both the territories and the forces involved; the savagery
of both weather and the fighting; the appalling suffering of the
civilian populations of all countries and the wreckage of towns and
cities - it's no wonder that words like armageddon are used to
describe the annihilation. Red Army into the Reich combines a
narrative history, contemporary photographs and maps with images of
memorials, battlefield survivors and then & now views. It may
come as a surprise to the western reader to see how many memorials
there are to Russia's Great Patriotic War and those to the losses
suffered by the countries who spent so long under the murderous
Nazi regime.
