Oderfront 1945 – Tagebuch eines Soldaten: "Der Tag an dem sie in die Hölle blicken ist gekommen" (5)

War Diary April 1945 | Oder Front | Seelow Heights | WW2 Germany Early April 1945. The front line runs directly along the Oder River. A German artilleryman writes in his diary daily – shelling, short breaks, love letters to his Gisela. He knows what's coming. And he writes it himself: "Sooner or later, we'll all be destroyed." The places in this diary – Wiesenau, Gut Ziltendorf, Brieskow, Lossow – are all located in the region that, in just a few weeks, will become the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the Second World War. April 16, 1945, is drawing near. 📖 In Part 5, I'll share entries from the diary from April 1 to 15, 1945 – the last quiet days before the inferno of the Seelow Heights. 🔔 Subscribe to the channel for more original sources, eyewitness accounts, and history from the Seelow Heights region. ...
