Berlin: The Final Reckoning

Berlin: The Final Reckoning is a comprehensive history of the last battle of Nazi Germany, which would see the virtual destruction of a city, and the suicide of Adolf Hitler. Aided by 150 black-&-white photographs, the book shows how, in a city reduced to rubble, a bitter hand-to-hand struggle developed between fanatical Nazis, SS troopers, old men and young boys of the Hitler Youth on one side and the hardbitten Soviet front-line troops bent on revenge on the other. Brilliantly researched and including a 16-page colour insert of artworks of personnel, tanks, firearms and aircraft involved in the final months of the conflict, Berlin – The Final Reckoning is a superbly illustrated account of the battle that ended the Nazi dream of a 1,000-year Reich.
