Description:
New book, 494 pages. In standard histories of WW2, the last six months in the Western European arena invariably make a short epilogue. After the German failure in the Battle of the Bulge, the war of often assumed to have been over, bar sporadic shooting. As this book shows, this is a long way from the truth. Drawing on many unpublished American, British, Canadian, German, Dutch, and Scandinavian sources, the author describes how the German Army, far from being beaten, fought hard for every inch of ground. The race between Montgomery and Patton to be the first to cross the Rhine; the Hunger Winter in Holland as it was left to starve by Nazi administrators; the destruction of German cities by bombing; Eisenhowers decision to leave Berlin to the Russians; the resistance in occupied Norway and Denmark; the discovery of concentration camps and the drama of the last days of the German Reich are all covered in detail.
