  • Summary

  • Warning: this episode includes discussion of subjects like suicide and sexual assault that some listeners may find disturbing.


    80 years ago, the Soviets launched their final assault on the German capital. Having swept across Eastern Europe with the Wehrmacht fleeing before them, this was to be the final, apocalyptic battle that marked the collapse of the Nazi regime.


    Joining us is one of the great military historians, Anthony Beevor, author of 'Berlin: The Downfall 1945'. He explains the strategic moves that brought the Red Army to the gates of Berlin, the desperation of the German defence and the tragic fate of Berlin's civilian population.


    Produced by Dougal Patmore and James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.
