Assault Group. Take Berlin!

The best modern novel about the assault on Berlin and the last days of the Great Patriotic War. The truth about what price had to be paid for the greatest triumph in our history.

The Wehrmacht and SS troops stand to the end, Volkssturm fights desperately, and German cities have been turned into real fortresses that must be taken by assault. Yet our forces are no longer what they were before—having accumulated vast experience and transformed into an unbreakable fighting machine.
