First Edition. A German woman's account of life in Hitlers Reich. A dramatic and moving account by an ordinary housewife living in wartime Berlin. Three years of devastating Allied air attacks and mounting German defeats in the field are seen through the eyes of a woman, fearful for her family, her mother-in-law in Hamburg and her brother on the Russian front. The siege of Berlin is remembered by a woman whose brother was killed in the city's defence; the harsh realities of defeat and occupation are made vivid and unforgettable by someone whose home was turned into a soldiers' billet, and whose husband was shot by the Russian invaders. A fascinating insight into Nazi controlled and war-torn Berlin. Post war the author found refuge in England. Sturdy red boards with gilt wording on spine.
