Bloody Streets: The Soviet Assault on Berlin (Revised and Expanded 2nd Edition)

accounts reported day by day until the end of the Berlin battle. the map booklet is very useful to follow the main book text and pictures. the "seelow heights" battle tactics choice by germans in different resistance lines is very well explained. I learn some things about this battle: the lake landing of the Bv138 inside Berlin the last days of the battle and the importance of the 3 "Flak towers" in the defence. the testimonials of the last german living, at the end of the book, are gripping a mandatory book for anyone who want to read and learn about this battle !!

Hello all, ive just got this after many years of waiting for a second hand copy, the prices were beyond reason but now we have a new updated version. Ive just spent the last 5 hours going through this and im impressed with the content and layout,loads of info plus loads of first hand accounts. Well researched from prime sources,amazing. If you are looking for a photo book this is not for you , although it does go amazingly well with Panzers in Berlin from the Panzerwrecks people,if you have both books you have a treat to look forward too as they both compliment each other,well thats all ,back to the book.

The best researched book on the subject, full of detail and photos. It explains how poorly defended Berlin was. The lead up to it, all battles and does it great depth with out getting bogged down. It makes other books about the battle of Berlin look shoddy.

This is a mammoth book with an addition for maps (that isn't explained well at all). If you have an interest in the last months of the war or Berlin in the last days, this is an excellent book however it is far to big and there is no reference to the separate map book, I keep going to the map book trying to find out were I am in the reading of the main book. Overall a great book.

This book by mr Hamilton is probably the best book on this subject, The detail & memories are just the best, not much is missed including the battle of seelow heights which was so important to the overall battle , He also points out that the leaders of the german fighting troops did not want to fight in the city, The red army also made a huge mistake of sending tank armys to fight in a huge metropolis, did they not learn anything from the likes of stalingrad, budapest & many other citys they fought for, This is why they suffered more casualties than almost any other battle on the eastern front, This will become the book to go to for this battle.

very very good book if you are interested in the last push into Berlin 1945...an asset to any milltary libary

Book covers the final battle of Berlin in some detail, plus the addition map book combined will be a great reference material

Great book but let down by poor proof reading . Can’t understand why such an excellent product is flawed by such a simple oversight.

Excellent mix of facts, analysis, personal accounts, and photos. The map book for the new addition is simply astounding with the most detailed tactical battle maps I’ve found for the Battle of Berlin overlaid over actual period aerial street maps. Also includes high quality action maps down to regiments for battle of Seelow Heights. Great coverage of the importance of the flak towers. I have at least 7 other books on the battle. Excellent complement to Hamilton’s books on the Oder front. Expensive, but absolutely worth the price.

quello che cercavo sulla battaglia , consigliato

Always loved the Battle of Berlin, so interesting is the last ditch battles of the period. This book goes great with Panzers in Berlin, for anybody who's a huge WW2 buff this is a must have for the bookshelf.

Un libro de exquisita calidad y presencia y con un contenido soberbio. Además viene con un segundo libro dedicado exclusivamente a mapas. En resumen, muy recomendable.

Excellent product. Well packaged.
