In April 1945, German troops withdrawing from the Seelow Heights were encircled by the Soviet Army near the small town of Halbe, south-east of Berlin. Rather than surrender, their orders were to attempt to break out, westward, and join up with the German twelfth Army.

Da de russiske tropper nåede Berlin i april 1945, indtog de en ruinhob befolket af udmattede og udsultede skygger. Gennem dagbøger, interviews og nazisternes egne fortrolige overvågningsrapporter tegner den britiske historiker Roger Moorhouse et levende og detaljeret portræt af berlinernes liv under Anden Verdenskrig. Berlin i krig er en fortælling om mod, moral og frygtelige forbrydelser blandt almindelige berlinere. Alle blev de vidne til krigens rædsler og den ydmygende skæbne, der blev deres hjemby til del.

Between 1940 and 1943, a group of Polish diplomats in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable - and until now, completely unknown - humanitarian operation.

The Second World War began on 1 September 1939, when German tanks, trucks and infantry crossed the Polish border, and the Luftwaffe began bombing Poland’s cities. The Polish army fought bravely but could not withstand an attacker superior in numbers and technology; and when the Red Army invaded from the east - as agreed in the pact Hitler had concluded with Stalin - the country’s fate was sealed. Poland was the first to fight the German aggressor; it would be the first to suffer the full murderous force of Nazi persecution.
