- Synopsis:
Campaigns in Gdansk (Danzig), Budapest, Wroclaw (Breslau) and East Prussia; Cossack volunteers in action at the Front; RAD anti-aircraft combat groups; SS armoured infantry riflemen in action; Defence readiness in Berlin, capital of the Reich. The collapse of the German Eastern Front started from the beginning of 1944. The continually increasing importance of supplies to the opposing sides could no longer be lastingly sustained by the German forces. Grave strategic mistakes contributed more than their fair share, and allowed the Red Army to push forward as far as the East Prussian border at the end of 1944. The Soviet soldiers, raging ferociously on German soil, unleashed an historically unprecedented stampede towards the West. With the courage of despair, the remaining German troops threw themselves against the attacking Soviets forces. The end was dreadful. Documentary using original newsreels. - Narrated By:
