1-217390

In the fourth and final volume of Nik Cornish's photographic history of WWII on the Eastern Front and the defeat of the German army, the destruction and occupation of the cities in eastern Germany and the humiliation of the German people are shown in mostly unpublished wartime photographs. Includes 200 illustrations.

The extent of the fighting, from the Baltic in the north to the Balkans in the south, is recorded in a selection of graphic images, as is the tenacity and desperation of the German resistance and the unstoppable force of the Red Army as offensive after offensive crushed the Third Reich. While most of the photographs show the Red Army, its troops, equipment, and the conditions in which it fought, the shattered cities of Germany and eastern Europe and the suffering and destitution of the civilians are recorded in graphic detail.
