In the fourth and final volume of Nik Cornish's photographic history of the Second World�War on the Eastern Front the defeat of the German army, the destruction and occupation�of the cities in eastern Germany and the humiliation of the German people are shown in�over 150 mostly unpublished wartime photographs. The extent of the fighting, from the�Baltic in the north to the Balkans in the south, is recorded in a selection of graphic images,�as is the tenacity and desperation of the German resistance and the unstoppable force of�the Red Army as offensive after offensive crushed the Third Reich. While most of the�photographs show the Red Army, its troops, equipment and the conditions in which it�fought, the shattered cities of Germany and eastern Europe and the suffering and�destitution of the civilians are recorded in graphic detail.
