Max Hastings: The end of WWII

In March 1945, British troops crossed the Rhine in Montgomery’s Operation Plunder, witnessed by Winston Churchill. The beginning of the end of the greatest and most terrible war in history had begun.

Now Max Hastings returns to How To Academy to tell that story: with a cast of British, Americans and Germans distinguishing themselves through heroic deeds and the basest crimes.

From Nazi Werewolves to George Patton’s reckless and doomed dispatch of an armoured column behind German lines to liberate his son-in-law from a prison camp; to the heartbreaking liberation of Belsen, the final major SAS operation of the war, this is an account of the last days of WWII in Europe told as we have never heard it before.
