Description

The Last Stand: Marshal Zhukov at the Oder In the final months of World War II, the Soviet Union launched a major assault on Berlin, but the battle for the city proved to be one of the most brutal and decisive in European history. On 31 January 1945, the first Red Army troops reached the River Oder, just forty miles from the German capital. The battle that followed was marked by bitter fighting on both sides, with a bloody stalemate persisting for two months. Despite this, Marshal Zhukov's troops eventually broke through the Nazi defenses, uniting their bridgeheads north and south of Kustrin and bringing an end to the Nazi fortress. This meticulously researched account draws on official sources and personal accounts from soldiers on both sides to recreate the Soviet breakthrough on the Oder. With detailed maps and archive photographs, this book provides a sobering portrayal of the final death throes of Hitler's regime.
