Frenzied by their terrible experiences with Wehrmacht and SS brutality, they wreaked havoc--tanks crushing refugee columns, mass rape, pillage, and unimaginable destruction. Hundreds of thousands of women and children froze to death or were massacred; more than seven million fled westward from the fury of the Red Army. It was the most terrifying example of fire and sword ever known. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAntony Beevor, renowned author of\u003ci\u003e D-Day\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Battle of Arnhem\u003c\/i\u003e, has reconstructed the experiences of those millions caught up in the nightmare of the Third Reich's final collapse. The Fall of Berlin is a terrible story of pride, stupidity, fanaticism, revenge, and savagery, yet it is also one of astonishing endurance, self-sacrifice, and survival against all odds.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntony Beevor\u003c\/b\u003e was educated at Winchester and Sandhurst.
