provides more of the same sort of details as was written in his "The Second World War", while also delving even deeper, with specific reports and stories from the eastern front and even some peeks at the western allies advances in western Germany. Frequent instances of dialogue exchanges abound, with an emphasis on "characters" whose distinct personalities emerge like a novel---Heinz Guderian, a frequent name early in "The Second World War" becomes a forceful personality as one of the few people who can match Hitler in screaming matches and still largely end up getting his way. Albert Speer, who goes out of his way and utilizes reverse psychology on hitler to convince him not to completely destroy all the bridges in Berlin. Heinrich Himmler, a veritable talentless mook completely in over his head and the epitome of "all style, no substance".I haven't yet finished the book but the descriptions of the campaign, unfolding over less than 6 months, is grueling. Just imagining the state of the Wehrmacht in late 1944, where they're being strained and pressed for resources and manpower, and how they somehow manage to keep holding on as it gets worse and worse. By as early as late January - February 1945, the continuing narrative of the german army is one of barely any weapons to go around, Volkssturm (forcibly conscripted older men and teenagers given little training) units being the only ones even above 50% fighting strength, artillery with only 5 or 6 rounds to shoot, literal children as young as 12 being equipped just with panzerfausts (an RPG) and made to haul them around in bicycles.The plight for the Red Army is similarly grueling, with the likes of SMERSH and the NKVD rapidly turning on their own as the Russians invade East Prussia and see a luxurious state of living unheard of in the soviet union and end up being "interrogated" by the NKVD to suppress this sort of disillusionment with soviet life. Certain armies essentially lose all control of their soldiers as they commit mass rape, looting, murder, and arson. An anecdote that ended up being repeated in "The Second World War" was one of Red Army troops burning down houses, then realizing they had left themselves with no shelter for themselves for the night.Atrocities committed by the Red Army are not blown up and exaggerated for the sake of propaganda, nor are they whitewashed or minimized. Victims are not just Germans, but Poles (members of the Armja Krajowa are treated as badly as captured German soldiers by the NKVD and SMERSH), Ukranians, Byelorussians, and Russians themselves. Russian civilians taken during the initial German invasion in 1941/1942 are liberated in 1945, only to be treated as traitors for allowing themselves to be captured alive. Many Russian women end up victims of mass rape as much as Germans.Overall, the characterization given to major figures, from generals down to anecdotes from individual soldiers (such as the story of a deserting tank group that went out on a ride on a T-34 and were never heard from again) abound, and insight is gleaned into Hitler's way of thinking towards the end, possibly reflecting how he'd always viewed himself as leader; his worldview is one of a malignant narcissist, with him envisioning himself as being "Germany", and that if he should die, all Germans should die with him. It is a great expansion piece in particular for movies like "Der Untergang" (Downfall) 2004
The text is good but there are a fair number of errors in the digital version suggesting that when OCR was applied to the print text no one edited the digital version. Parenthesis are often misplaced and "1st" becomes "ist" throughout. The kindle version is also devoid of maps but I am pretty sure the print version has them. Why is this? In a way I feel kind of cheated. I used various online map websites when the opportunity arose but frequently I read in the morning before work at a coffee shop and I don't carry a tablet or personal laptop with me and moreover I don't want to have to open another device to read the book....I have a Kindle for convenience (I can buy a book right away or borrow it from the library etc) and to save space on my book overflowing shelves. I know that maps don't work terribly well on a Kindle because of the screen size , but they should still be included if they are in the original. I am going to complain to Amazon. The one reason I bought the kindle version and not a used hardcover for like 25 cents plus shipping that I bought Stalingrad years ago pre Amazon (remember those days- actual book stores!) and the physical condition of the new book was so bad that it fell apart in just a few weeks.
This is a well-done combination of military and social history. It breaks no new ground but is a useful summary.On the Kindle version, on any platform, and as usual, the maps are hard to get to and hard to read. If you want to follow troop movements -- which Beevor, a military historian, describes in detail -- get a hard copy of the book or use your own maps.Beevor's prose is decent but his mistakes are annoying. "Orientate" and "disorientate," for example, are not words. In the old days (twenty years ago and more) there was, somewhere along the publishing process, a person called an "editor" who would do what was called "editing," which involved among other things preventing this sort of blunder from making its way into print. That now-obsolete fellow might also have seen to it that "Werwolf" wasn't spelled three different ways in four pages. And there are typographical glitches that seem to be the sort of Kindle conversion errors that have become routine.
No way my reviews will approach some of those here so let me just say this book was great.I finished Stalingrad just before this. It was better imo but I am splitting hairs. And hopefully his book on Normandy will be here in two days and I’ll work that one to death as well.If you like details, lucid, clear writing and being told the story like you are listening to a guy just back from the trenches Mr. Beevor is your author.
I finished this last night and found it a fascinating and very detailed read. I knew some of what Berlin was like in 1945 but this expanded and conveyed a great amount of detail at a very personal level. I cannot imagine the terror and misery of being there at that time. The waste of the destruction and death during the final days is more tragic than words can convey. This story added a great deal of description to the pictures and film that I’ve seen about that period.
Great author and superb narrator. I highly recommend this audio program and/ or book. Gives a real feeling of the times in the last six months of the war - - from vivid descriptions of Yalta, Hitler's bunker, rape of millions of Germans by Russian soldiers, life in Germany, final battles, the bombing of Dresden etc
