Der Brand

My friend from Frankurt cried during "Der Untergang". She had seen movies of her home town undergoing similar destruction. This book taught me to understand, even if it could use more Frankfurt.
A gripping look at the effects of the Allied bombing campaign on the cities of Germany. There is no strategic map spread afar over Bomber Command's table. The beat is neither the drone of the B-29 or the hungry rattle of the Flak towers. The sound are the cries of carnage and a lithany of architectural legacy under assault.
The incineration of the Prussian Generalstabarchives deserve seperate mention. I feel their absence so often when dealing with the Other Side in the Great War.
