Title: Great book from the Soviet point of view.
Product review: I found this at a library book sale. It's fasinating to read about the battle for Berlin from the perspective of a commanding general of the Red Army. It is written by Marshal Vasili Chuikov. One of the armies surrounding Berlin was under his command. He was also the commander of the Soviet forces that defended Stalingrad & broke the back of the Nazi armies in Russia. I was impressed by his candor in this book. Usually we hear of how Great Stalin was. Not here. There are quite a few maps in the book that show the progression of the battles. I especially enjoyed reading into the attitudes & status of the Soviet armies swarming all over Germany from the East. Very fasinating book. I am now looking for another book he wrote about the battle for Stalingrad. Have not found it yet. Always a good sign when one book written by someone moves you to find others written by the same author.
