Swansong 1945: A Collective Diary of the Last Days of the Third Reich

Over 20 years, Walter Kempowski collected an astonishing array of autobiographies, letters, diaries and other documents to create a raw, tremendously moving set of reactions to the momentous events of April through May 1945. A riveting portrait of what Kurt Weill called the “total breakdown of all human dignity,” revealed through the bric-a-brac of war-shattered lives.
