A gritty true tale of the time between April 20th and the end of June in Berlin by an anonymous woman.

[Loudon McAndrew · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the most harrowing books I have ever read. It is the only book I have read which had an anonymous author. That fact doesn’t make me doubt it in any way as I am sure the Russian army behaved exactly as the Germans did.
I know someone who had to walk out of Berlin as a four year old with her mother during the last weeks of the war and she as an adult related what her mother had told her of the period.

Absolutely fantastic read. The writing style is unique - almost recensent of Nordic writings. The subject is gruesome and gives a terrifying insights in the fragility of human civility/humanity. I dont know why this book is not standard reading and with that more widely known.
