On May 8, 1945, the Third Reich finally fell. Forty years later, in THE FALL OF BERLIN Julian Crandall Hollick talked to native Berliners about those last traumatic days of war, and their experiences and reminiscences of the (often) equally terrible first few weeks of peace. For in the first few weeks, only the Soviet Army occupied the ruins of Berlin, and they often exacted terrible vengeance on the survivors for all the Soviet Union had suffered in the previous years.
