About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Berlin by Antony Beevor, read by Peter Nobel.
Berlin: The Downfall: 1945 is Antony Beevor's brilliant account of the fall of the Third Reich.
The Red Army had much to avenge when it finally reached the frontiers of the Reich in January 1945. Political instructors rammed home the message of Wehrmacht and SS brutality. The result was the most terrifying example of fire and sword ever known, with tanks crushing refugee columns under their tracks, mass rape, pillage and destruction.
Hundreds of thousands of women and children froze to death or were massacred because Nazi Party chiefs, refusing to face defeat, had forbidden the evacuation of civilians. Over seven million fled westwards from the terror of the Red Army.
Antony Beevor reconstructs the experiences of those millions caught up in the nightmare of the Third Reich's final collapse, telling a terrible story of pride, stupidity, fanaticism, revenge and savagery, but also one of astonishing endurance, self-sacrifice and survival against all odds.

Another Victory for Beevor
This deep dive into the final battle of WW2 is worth the read/listen. Well narrated & fascinating details. It's a good follow up to Beevor's other books, especially his general history of the war.

Amazing
Beevor is a genius. Heartbreaking to hear the story of Berlin but so important when understanding Russia and Germany today. Gripping from start to finish. Great narration. Totally recommend.

Outstanding audiobook
The History itself is excellent; the narration is exceptional. The speaker places emphasis in the right places, strikes the right tones, and generally brings the writing to life.
