What was life like for Germans as the Third Reich collapsed all around them? What did Soviet troops discover in the hunt for Hitler? What did the remaining Nazi leadership do to keep the war going, in the face of inevitable defeat? Al and Jim discuss the often very human stories of individuals on both sides of the conflict trying to survive the last days of their war, in the rubble of bombed-out Berlin. Join James Holland & Al Murray as they uncover the pivotal but often overlooked final moments of WW2 in Europe.
