Gentlemens,
I'm passing this on to the brains trust - 5-6 years ago, I read a
'scholarly work' about the last days of Berlin in WW2. In that book was
a list of the artillery pieces the Germans had to defend the city with,
and the general area of emplacement.
It was borrowed from the local library, which seems to have suffered a
pogrom of anything that is actually useful in regards to military
history, so I can't just go back and re-discover it on the shelves,
because it ain't there no more. (I know, I've looked.)
My request - any ideas on what the title may be? I can tell you that it
IS NOT Antony Beevor's 'Berlin the downfall 1945', which I have just
re-read (lots of 'last days' diorama ideas in there by the way). Any and
all suggestions greatfully received, as always.
Thanks
RobG

It could be Peter, although it doesn't ring a bell - I get the feeling
that it was a bit more modern than '66. I'll look it up all the same,
thanks.
