Description
Death Was Our Companion: The Final Days of the Third Reich The last days of the Third Reich are a subject of intense interest, and this book offers a unique perspective on the events of 1945. Tony Le Tissier's account draws on the experiences of ordinary soldiers, including teenagers and veterans of the Great War, who fought alongside the heavily outnumbered German armed forces. As the Allies closed in from both East and West, the German military struggled to maintain its professionalism in the face of overwhelming odds. The author explores the struggles between the military, industry, and the Nazi Party for influence over the defenders of Berlin, as well as the abortive attempts to negotiate a cease-fire with the Soviets. This book provides a fascinating insight into the ordinary soldier's experience of the culminating battles in central Europe in 1945. For those interested in the history of World War II, this book offers a fresh perspective on the final days of the Third Reich.
