The long-awaited culmination of the Late-war period in Flames Of War is here. The Berlin intelligence handbook focuses on the Soviet assault on the German capital city of Berlin, the battles to encircle it, and the final desperate defence by the by the rag-tag German forces.
By April 1945 the Soviet Red Army had pushed all the way to the Oder River, just on the doorstep of the German Capital, Berlin. On 16 April 1945 the Soviets launch the Berlin Offensive across the Oder with the goal of taking Berlin and bringing the war to a conclusion. Stalin’s two leading Marshals, Zhukov and Koniev, then raced to be first to enter Berlin and to take its symbolic seat of power, the Reichstag. The German defence of the city was improvised, but stubborn. Street battles raged from block to block as regular Heer, Waffen-SS, and Luftwaffe troops, as well as auxiliaries like the Volkssturm and Hitlerjugend, fought to hold back the red tide.
