The End: The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany 1944-45 by Ian Kershaw
3.0
This book is well written in such a way as to keep a readers interest. And is an interesting approach to the end of the war. However I found it to be lacking in cohesion. This book has a lot of well researched information however it could have been condensed into half the number of pages.
Some interesting points where
Pg 14 In speaking as to why the leadership held out "They were sustained in the main not blind Faith in hitler. More important for arch nazis was the feeling that they had the future without hitler. provided a powerful negative bond their fates were inextricably linked.
And on pg 379
In the 10 months between July 1944 and May 1945 for more German civilians died than in previous years of the war mostly through air raids and the calamitous conditions in the eastern front after January 1945 and all more than 400,000 were killed and 800,00 injured".
