Re: Armor in Berlin
No sorry to say I do not it is mostly text from what I understand from the Frenchman, in fact I do not have the whole title either or ISBn #.
Feldernhalle was not the Schwere 503rd SS with Königstigers, in fact it was the 503rd that was of sorts the stalemate and rock in Berlin giving the Soviets such a pain in the arse along with every Landser equipped with a Panzerfaust, so much so a thorn that the Soviets deliberately took the buildings down one by one to crush the opposition.....I have a customer that lived in Berlin all her life and was witness to the brutality from both sides in this closing battle.
the last escape attempt was by a couple of 503rd SS heavies along with the remnants of the 11th Ss Pz Grenadier Stug Abt. which also had a couple of old Panther D's in it's cadre, one of them knocked out at least 11 T-34's before it was shot to bits by the bridge. some of the Germans of course made across the bridge, others swimming and those also fortunate to have ran through the under street tunnels and out east before capture, death or being closed off.........
