The story of the last major land battle in Europe that sealed the fate of Berlin - and the Third Reich.In the dying months of the Second World War on 31 January 1945, the first Red Army troops reached the River Oder, barely forty miles from Berlin. But despite bitter fighting by both sides, a bloody stalemate persisted for two months. Everyone at Soviet Headquarters expected Marshal Zhukov's troops quickly to bring the war to an end.
They culminated in 1945 with the last major land battle in Europe that proved decisive for the fate of Berlin - and the Third Reich. At the end of this time the Soviet bridgeheads north and south of Kustrin were eventually united, and the Nazi fortress finally fell.Tony Le Tissier has written an impressively detailed account of the Nazi-Soviet battles in the Oderbruch and for the Seelow Heights, east of Berlin.
