ARMAGEDDON OST THE GERMAN DEFEAT ON THE EASTERN FRONT 1944-45
Book Type: C, O By Nik Cornish. By the end of the summer of 1944, whilst Germany was facing ultimate defeat, its army was still capable of inflicting major losses on opposing forces. In the east, some of the most bitter fighting of the entire war occurred during its final year. It appeared that every inch of soil was being defended to the last, as the Germans doggedly sought to defend the territory conquered. For them, it was not just that retreat would bring the dreaded Red Army to the very gates of Berlin, it was also from these areas that much of the raw material required to sustain the war effort was derived. Armageddon Ost examines in detail the final year of the war in the east. It records the inexorable march of the Red Army towards ultimate victory. With a narrative drawn from a variety of sources, including first-hand accounts from those involved in the fighting, the book records the advance of the Red Army from Russian soil through Poland, Hungary and the Balkans and into Germany itself. Illustrated with a superb range of photographs, many drawn from Russian archives and never previously published, this is a sobering account of the horror of this final phase of the war in the East. 180 B/W photographs. 160pp.
