Battle of Berlin
1945 CE
The Battle of Berlin was the final major Soviet offensive against Nazi Germany in April and May 1945. Soviet armies encircled the capital, fought through its suburbs and centre, and forced the collapse of the regime while Hitler remained in the Führerbunker.
The battle mattered because it ended organised Nazi rule in Germany and became one of the most destructive urban battles of the war. It also created a setting of military collapse, civilian flight, political disintegration, suicide, surrender and the first encounters with the post-war occupation.
Books directly linked to the battle include The Man in the Bunker, Armageddon, City of Traitors and The Berlin Spies, which approach the last days of the regime, the fighting and the intelligence struggle around the capital. General World War II novels such as All the Light We Cannot See and Life After Life should not be presented as Battle of Berlin titles.
