The collapse of the Third Reich through the experiences of those caught in its final months
Antony Beevor’s history examines the Soviet advance into Germany in early 1945 and the destruction surrounding Berlin’s fall. It places the Red Army’s arrival in the context of atrocities committed by the Wehrmacht and SS, while tracing the vast civilian displacement, violence, deprivation, and upheaval that accompanied the Third Reich’s collapse. The book’s scope extends beyond battlefield operations to the experiences of refugees, women, children, soldiers, and others swept into the final campaign. Its subject is the human cost of war as well as the military and political breakdown of Nazi Germany.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers seeking World War II history centered on Germany’s final defeat
- Those interested in the Eastern Front and the Soviet advance of 1945
- Readers looking for historical accounts that include civilian displacement and wartime violence

"A tale drenched in drama and blood, heroism and cowardice, loyalty and betrayal."--Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
The Red Army had much to avenge when it finally reached the frontiers of the Third Reich in January 1945. Frenzied by their terrible experiences with Wehrmacht and SS brutality, they wreaked havoc--tanks crushing refugee columns, mass rape, pillage, and unimaginable destruction. Hundreds of thousands of women and children froze to death or were massacred; more than seven million fled westward from the fury of the Red Army. It was the most terrifying example of fire and sword ever known.
Antony Beevor, renowned author of D-Day and The Battle of Arnhem, has reconstructed the experiences of those millions caught up in the nightmare of the Third Reich's final collapse. The Fall of Berlin is a terrible story of pride, stupidity, fanaticism, revenge, and savagery, yet it is also one of astonishing endurance, self-sacrifice, and survival against all odds.
