Harrowing collection of first-hand accounts of the conquest of Prussia and Danzig by Russian forces in the winter and spring of 1945, as related largely by civilians (though the boundary between civilian and military was blurred by the Volksstrum). The epic and tragic nature of the evacuations of millions of Germans from the area is recounted, though one can't help but think of the populations that had been so treated by the Germans in the 1938-1943 period. Valuable as first-hand accounts, though there are accounts out there that deal, in more detail, with specific tragedies like the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff. Recommended.

Egbert Kiesers graphic account of the Red Armys assault on East Prussia in 1945 is one of the classic histories of the destruction of Hitlers Germany, and it has never before been available in English. Using extensive, firsthand, unforgettable eyewitness testimony, he documents in riveting detail the catastrophe that overtook German civilians and soldiers as they fled from the Soviet onslaught and their world collapsed around them.Tony Le Tissier, in this fluent and vivid translation of the original German text, brings to bear all his expert knowledge of the military defeat of the German armies in the East and the enormity of the human disaster that went with it. Egbert Kieser was born in 1928 in Bad Salzungen, Thringen and studied philosophy and the history of art at Heidelberg University. He worked as a freelance journalist, writer and editor. Among his many publications are two outstanding studies of German Second World War history Danziger Bucht 1945 (which is translated here as Prussian Apocalypse) and Operation Sea Lion: The German Plan to Invade Britain, 1940.
