This is the story of Germany in 1945, a story of life after death. For years we have concentrated on how Europe slid into tyranny, violence, war and genocide; this book describes how humanity began to get back out.
The only book to tell the whole story of Germany in 1945 both before and after Nazi surrender, one of the most crucial turning points in Europe's history. It combines historical narrative with extraordinary stories of some of the millions whose lives were shattered by the end of World War II; the author has done a huge amount of primary research.
Illustrated with two picture sections of rare and remarkable photographs taken in 1945.
