The book opens on the day of Hitler's suicide in Berlin where life existed in the ruins of the city as the Red army ferociously imposed its victorious will.2005, John Murray, , 0719554780,< H-01>,739pp 40 ills., Very good in like dw, , Subject...Post World War II - GeneralWeb No. 25349-01..............................£10.00 |
