Hi Eddie,
Before "Berlin-The Downfall", by A. Beevor (a kind of "other side" of the story, I find him a bit too hard in his critics against the Soviets) that I'm reading now, I've read "The end of the third reich" by V. I. Chuikov. Nice one. His disagreements with some of Zukhov's decisions are pretty obvious on this one. Apparently they didn't like each other much :)
But I haven't got Chuikov's "The fall of Berlin" yet.
There are two other titles from Chuikov, it seems they are called "The Battle for Stalingrad" and "The beginning of the road" in the English translation, which I don't have either.
I believe that the one you have is probably "The beginning of the road" version in German. Anyway, please let me know what you think when you read it.
Thanks a lot.
Dolf
