A detailed German-language study of the fighting in East Prussia and the Samland Peninsula during the final months of the Second World War. Helmut Borkowski follows the Soviet offensives, German defensive operations and retreats from late 1944 through to the battles for Königsberg, the Samland, Pillau and the Frische Nehrung in 1945.
The work examines operations around individual towns, villages, bridges and strategic positions, drawing upon extensive documentary material and eyewitness information. This substantially expanded 2014 edition incorporates additional Russian sources unavailable to the author when the original work was prepared.
Illustrated throughout with numerous black-and-white operational maps, battle diagrams, photographs and illustrations of military vehicles and equipment. A scarce and useful reference for students of the Eastern Front and the final campaigns in East Prussia.
