Anyone read this book about a group of germans surrounded by the russians who forced them to make a break for the American line to avoid slaughter.
It is an amazingly horrible story. I hope it's embellished but I somehow doubt it is. The russians were raping and killing every german in their path. They had surround a group of german tanks, infantry and civilians south of berlin and the germans figured their only hope was to surrender to the Americans. With no gas, few shells and little fighting spirit the german tanks led a break out literally running over the Russians, germans and anything else that got in their way. It's a crazy story
