 | | Operation Berlin, the Soviet offensive launched on 16 April 1945 by Marshals Zhukov and Koniev, isolated the German Ninth Army and tens of thousands of refugees in the Spreewald 'pocket', south-east of Berlin. |
 | | To understand the whole overview of the importance of the 9th armee one should read "The fall of Berlin" by A. Beevor as it also speaks to some of the events in this book but gives you the overall situation of the final days of the war according to the Fuher Bunker. |
 | | But concerning the series of events that 9th armee and its personel went through this is an excellent book and one of which one can jump off to other subject about WWII. |
