Recenzii

'In this fresh examination that restores the army's centrality to the defense of Königsberg, Willems demonstrates that the Wehrmacht's mobilization of civilians in East Prussia closely resembled the ruthless practices it developed in the Soviet Union. An important study that demonstrates the evolution of total war during the Third Reich's death throes.' Jeff Rutherford, author of Combat and Genocide on the Eastern Front: The German Infantry's War, 1941-1944
'The German Wehrmacht's role in war crimes against Eastern European populations has long been a matter of historical record. Much less well-known is how soldiers' brutalized mentality also caused them to inflict misery upon the German population in the last-ditch defence of their homeland. Bastiaan Willems' admirable study shines disturbing light on this phenomenon. It greatly deepens and enriches our understanding of the collapse of the Third Reich.' Ben H. Shepherd, author of Hitler's Soldiers: The German Army in the Third Reich
'The suffering of the population in East Prussia under Soviet occupation, even long after the war had ended, is well known. This book will stimulate lively discussions about how the conduct of the radicalized Wehrmacht units retreating from the Eastern Front onto German territory in 1944/45 impacted these miserable conditions.' Margit Szöllösi-Janze, editor of Science in the Third Reich
'… original, analytically rigorous, and engagingly written.' Ben H. Shepherd, WIH
