The Battle of Berlin 1945

The Battle of Berlin 1945

by TonyLeTissier (Author)

Synopsis

The battle of Berlin was truly a battle on an unprecedented scale. The Soviets massed 1,600,000 troops for 'Operation Berlin', and Marshal Zhukov in the centre had half of them, but his initial attack floundered, and was so costly that he had to revise his plans for taking of the city. This work talks about this battle.
