On 12 January 1945, the Soviet armies forced a breakthrough on the Vistula. This marked the beginning of the military collapse on the German eastern front. The attempt to build up new defences was lost in the chaos. Millions of people set off on the great escape to the west. Based on more than two thousand documents and interviews with eyewitnesses, Jürgen Thorwald traces a decisive chapter in German history in this gripping account of the final months of the war.
