Graphic history of the French soldiers who fought for the SS.

A graphic account of a bloody battle on the Eastern Front in the final months of World War II. Kustrin, about 50 miles from Berlin, was one of the final roadblocks standing between the Red Army and the Third Reich's capital, and the Germans defended it tenaciously--with high-school students and old men. The Germans were driven from Kustrin but forced teh Soviets into a sixty-day siege.

This text provides an account of the Soviet-German conflict east of Berlin, culminating in 1945 with the last major land battle in Europe that proved decisive for the fate of Berlin.

Sixty years have elapsed since the cataclysmic demise of Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich. In this book Tony Le Tissier (author of Berlin Then and Now) traces the rise of Hitler, the Nazi Party and its ramifications, together with its deeds and accomplishments, during the twelve years that the Third Reich existed within today's boundaries of the Federal Republics of Germany and Austria. The homes - or sites of them - of the dramatis personnae; the Nazi legends of their martyrs; the sites of the former Third Reich shrines at the Obersalzberg; in Munich; Nuremberg; Bayreuth, and in Berlin; the Hitler Youth schools and the Party colleges; the 'euthanasia' killing centres; the concentration camps, and much much more. Tony then follows the progress of Hitler's war: from the attack on Poland on September 1, 1939 to defeat in Berlin and the final round-up at Flensburg in May 1945. A final chapter covers the de-Nazification of Germany, the whole volume being illustrated by 'then and now' comparison photographs which are the central theme of After the Battle.

This text on Berlin charts the Nazi-Communist struggle of the Weimar Republic; the grandeur, both public and architectural, of the Third Reich; and the city's battering by Allied and Soviet forces. "Focus on the Cold War" looks at the partition, and eventual reunion, of East and West Berlin.
