Berlin 1945: End of the Thousand Year Reich by Peter Antill

Berlin 1945: End of the Thousand Year Reich by Peter Antill is part of the Osprey campaign series. As usual for one of these titles this is a decent enough introduction to the battle, units and personalities. There are photographs or maps on just about every page. The text is readable but also has quite a bit of information in it. I was quite happy to see an extensive further reading bibliography section. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to whether one is included or not in a particular title.

there is particular coverage of the operations around the Reichstag and Hitler in the bunker. One minor criticism I do have is that the book actually tries to cover the campaign from the Soviet invasion in to German territory. I would've preferred if it had focused more on the battle for Berlin itself.
