9780340822036: Countdown to Victory

Synopsis

In standard histories of the Second World War, the last six months in the western European arena invariably make a short epilogue. This was far from the truth; it was certainly not how those soldiers and civilians at the front saw it. Drawing on American, British, Canadian, German, Dutch and Scandinavian sources, most of them previously unpublished, and starting with the Battle of the Bulge, "Countdown to Victory" tells the little known story of those final months through the eyes of ordinary people who had to live the trauma.
