As the Red Army crushed the last pockets of German resistance in central Berlin, French soldiers fought back. They were the last surviving members of SS Charlemagne which was made up of French volunteers, and were among the final defenders of the city and of the Fuhrer bunker. Their extraordinary story gives a compelling insight into the dreadful climax of the Battle for Berlin. Their fate after the German defeat was grim. Once captured, they were shot out of hand by their French compatriots or imprisoned.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67670535569707,"sku":"17512","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/ss-charlemagne","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
