Dio-Armour
Battleground Berlin 1945
I have always been fascinated by the fierce ‘Battle of Berlin’ in the spring of 1945. This was a hopeless battle, with tremendous losses on both sides, at a time where the outcome of the War already was decided. The time of the Blitzkrieg and massive German army groups and Panzer divisions was long gone; now battles were fought out with under-strength and worn-down men and machines, and often just with young boys and old men, with little or no battle experience.
