Battle for Berlin
I was wondering if anybody had a good documentary to recommend about the Battle for Berlin to could be available to buy.
I would appreciate any recommendation. :) Thanks Bryan

There are some great references out there on Berlin. Three books that I can think of right off the top are "The Road to Berlin", "The Fall of Berlin" and "The Battle for Berlin". I am at work, and am just going off my head for these titles, but you should be able to find them on Amazon or whatever booksource you use. I also just got "Berlin, Then and Now" and am quite pleased with the book. None of these books are really cheap (the prices on "Then and Now" start around $75) but they are great references and will keep you reading for a while!

Bryan,
I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but, "Berlin, Then and Now" is a great book !! The one I was pleased to find in 1999... Ch. |

While we're on the topic... If anyone ever finds a book of maps of the Soviet invasion of Berlin, please let me know. Any time I research a Berlin campaign group I have to search through a half dozen books to get a decent picture of where a unit went!

Well actually I wasn't looking for a book, but for a documentary with images (DVD, VHS) about the Battle for Berlin.
What's concerning books, I only have the one written by Antony Beevor "Berlin, the downfall".

You should read at least a couple of other view points on the subject, Beevor being quite anti-soviet too often. I would recommend "The End of the TR", by Chuikov. Easy reading, all the way of the 8th Guards Army from the Dniester to Berlin. Sorry I don't know of a documentary/film to recommend. The only one I remember now is the appropriate episode of an old TV series, "World at War" I believe. I have the Stalingrad episode and a few more but not the one about the Fall of Berlin. Guys, any other you'd recommend? Best, Dolf |
