Hellish tales of brutal combat on the Eastern Front from commanders, soldiers and survivors as the Latvian 15th SS division tries to hold back the Red Army's 1945 Vistula-Oder operation in Pomerania. This is the first of two books charting their epic, chaotic retreat in a pitiless war.
Autorenporträt
In his third book for Helion, Vincent Hunt gathers eyewitness and often-shocking accounts of the Eastern Front from the last surviving Latvian Legionnaires in the UK. An award-winning former BBC documentary producer, he traces the chaotic retreat of the Latvian 15th SS Division across Poland to find few memorials to the carnage they survived. Hunt's 25-year BBC career took him across the UK, USA and Africa making social history and music documentaries, including the revived Radio Ballads series of 2006-2014. A companion volume The Lost Legion continues the story once they crossed the Oder (Helion, 2023).
