Berlin Dance of Death
Helmut Altner and Tony LeTissier
This is one of the most vivid accounts of destruction and hopelessness
we have ever seen. It is a 17-year-old German conscript's experiences
in the defense of Berlin during the spring of 1945 - the last desperate
days of Berlin - annotated and illustrated to show his part in the overall
picture.
Altner’s account covers in detail recruit training on the front line after
only ten days in barracks, the execution of deserters and action against
the Red Army and turncoat German 'Seydlitz' Troops.
He tells of the retreat back to Berlin with full kit, escaping capture time
after time and the annihilation of nearly all his company in just one
action.
He gives detailed descriptions of house to house fighting in the
Spandau sector of Berlin, the battle for the Olympic Stadium, the
sacrifice of Hitler Youths, fighting in the city's subway tunnels and the
disastrous attempt at a breakout to the west, culminating in his final
capture.
This is an account of war at its most basic and brutal level, of the
collapse of everything familiar and the hopelessness of imminent
defeat.
Hardcover, 6 x 9, 256 pages, 8 pages b/w photos, maps, charts.
