In April / May 1945 the river Elbe became a river of fate for thousands of civilians and soldiers of all branches of service. Either in American or Russian prisoner of war it should go. The 12th Army Wenck became the last hope for many. One of these soldiers, Hellmut Westermann, born in 1926, was a member of the flak soldier who witnessed the self-sacrificing struggles for recuperation on the Elbe during these difficult and lossy days.
In his memoirs, H. Westermann, born in Pomeranian Szczecin, describes his childhood years in Goslar / Harz, the assignment as Luftwaffenhelfer from 1943 and his war effort as a soldier until the capitulation on 8 May 1945 with the subsequent American captivity. 164 pages, many illustrations and documents, hardcover, bound
