Swansong 1945
Swansong 1945: A Collective Diary of the Last Days of the Third Reich by Walter Kempowski
An interesting collection of snippets from four different days near the end. Can, of course, be repetitive and the lack of structure may make it a bit tedious. The news of the camps. The springtime going on during the war. The last gasps of Nazi media. The arrival of the soldiers here and there and whether they behaved or not.
