A Woman in Berlin
What you need to know before your trail
An anonymous author wrote A Woman in Berlin which told about life within the falling city as it was sacked by the Russian Army. Fending off the boredom and deprivation of hiding, the author records her experiences, observations and meditations in this stark and vivid diary. Accounts of the bombing, the rapes, the rationing of food and the overwhelming terror of death are rendered in the dispassionate, though determinedly optimistic prose of a woman fighting for survival amidst the horror and inhumanity of war.

Travel Guide
Berlin
This is a harrowing read. An important read. When you do read it you will understand why the author remains anonymous
Berlin was a landscape of terror, pain, injustice and inhumane actions. Men battered by war, incapable of protecting their wives and daughters. Violence in a city on the edge. Germans retreating and Russians invading resulting in a level of chaos and horror not read about before. When the Soviets retreat, there is another shock in store.
Unbelievably shocking account of the realities of the WW2
