Endkampf Um Das Reichsgebiet 1944-1945
Description
Description
This large-format illustrated volume is the first hardbound book to be published by Luftverlag-Start. Comprising about 160 pages, with unique and previously unpublished photographs, it portrays the battles fought by army units to defend the frontiers of the Reich.
The 186 illustrations, thereof 23 in colour, are all operational photos from the German side and not Allied post-war photos. Most were taken by German soldiers during the final battles and thus represent unique photographic documents, for by then film was difficult to obtain and photography rare. The black-and-white photos are supplemented by three rare colour photos, also taken during the fighting. The photographs, accompanied by extensive and detailed text and maps, are reproduced to the highest possible standard on good quality glossy paper.
Among the book’s main themes are:
• Nemmersdorf and Goldap, the Russian drive across the East Prussian border
• From Königsberg to Pillau – Fighting Withdrawal in Samland, East Prussia April
1945 (Panther photos)
