About this listen
This is the concluding volume of the history of the IV SS-Panzerkorps, a relatively unknown organization that was born in battle during the last year of the war and fought exclusively on the Eastern Front. After their successful defense of Warsaw and the Vistula Front during the fall of 1944, the corps and its two famous Waffen-SS divisions, the Totenkopf and Wiking, as well as several divisions of the German Army, were sent south to reverse the military situation on the Hungarian Front. Follow General Gille and his divisions as they try to relieve Budapest against impossible odds, defend the tactically important town of Stuhlweissenburg, and fight in Germany's last major offensive, Operation Frühlingserwachsen. Learn how this SS tank corps, during the closing days of the war in Europe, fought massive tank battles, conducted grim rear-guard actions, and carried out night assaults against a numerically superior enemy who was determined to crush the Third Reich no matter the cost. After its failure to defend Vienna, the only course remaining for Gille and his men was a long and costly retreat, ending only with capitulation to the US Army and an uncertain future.

Superb account of 4th SS Panzer Corp
A highly detailed blow by blow narrative that brings to life the realities of the last months of war on the eastern front.

Highly detailed and very enjoyable.
I have thoroughly enjoyed both volumes of "From the Realm of a Dying Sun." The level of research and detail contained within these volumes on the history of the IV SS-PanzerKorps in the latter phases of WWII is truly engrossing (and harrowing at times). More importantly, this wealth of information is woven into an entertaining and highly informative narrative, which flows naturally throughout. A credit to the author, Mr Nash Sr. I also found the narration of the audiobook to be top notch and easy to listen to.
