Exclusive Bundle Deal: 30% Off

A detailed and revisionist study of Germany’s final defensive operations in the Second World War, this 2-volume digital bundle re-examines the final phase of the conflict on the Eastern Front. Presented in PDF eBook format, it challenges conventional narratives of the fall of Berlin by focusing on the strategic and operational reality along the Oder Front.

Drawing on previously unpublished primary sources, this work provides a comprehensive, day-by-day reconstruction of events, offering fresh insight into the decisions, conflicts, and final efforts of the German command.

Included Titles:

1. The Oder Front 1945: Volume 1
This volume examines the critical period beginning with Generaloberst Gotthard Heinrici’s assumption of command of Heeresgruppe Weichsel in March 1945.

Rather than a final stand centred on Berlin, Heinrici’s strategy focused on delaying Soviet advances along the Oder Front to influence postwar occupation lines. The book details the planning and execution of this defensive campaign, the internal conflicts within German high command, and the operations of key formations including 3. Panzer Army, 9th Army, 12th Army, and 21st Army. Supported by extensive operational maps, orders of battle, and primary documentation, it provides a granular view of the war’s final weeks.

 
2. The Oder Front 1945: Volume 2
Continuing the detailed analysis, this volume further explores the collapse of German defensive efforts as Soviet pressure intensified and command disagreements undermined coherent strategy.

The narrative continues to reconstruct operations through firsthand accounts, war diaries, and command records, offering a comprehensive examination of the final phase of the Oder Front campaign. It also includes extensive appendices, biographical notes, and detailed unit data, alongside numerous photographs and full-colour operational maps.
