the Fugitives

the Fugitives
In April 1945, the Soviet Union assembled outside Berlin one of the largest concentrations of military power ever seen. Within the city, already repeatedly pounded by Allied bombing, refugees and citizens were protected by a small force of stragglers and the remnants of shattered formations including units of the Hitler Youth. Desperate to avoid Soviet reprisals these fugitives took advantage of the urban terrain and natural barriers to form a perimeter line defence, with choke points to stem the flow of the Soviet armor.
