Story4.5 out of 5 stars 23
In April 1945, German troops withdrawing from the Seelow Heights were encircled by the Soviet Army near the small town of Halbe, south-east of Berlin. Rather than surrender, their orders were to attempt to break out, westward, and join up with the German twelfth Army. A brutal battle ensued, with an estimated 30,000 German and 20,000 Russian soldiers killed, along with thousands of civilians.

The narration in this book is Awful.. The narration, however, is simply atrocious and Bruce Mann should not be allowed to narrate anything. With the number of talented voice actors, I can't believe that anyone went "Sure, this guy conveys interest and passion about the topic". I mean, he is just *awful*. He is completely monotone and shows no appreciation that he has the slightest empathy for what he is reading.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
From the depths of addiction to the height of recovery. From a life-threatening diagnosis to the ultimate loss of a lifetime, my story will take you through a journey of one mother’s love for her two young boys and the relentless courage to protect us, at any cost, from the very danger that she unwittingly had a hand in creating. It was a danger that would force us to disappear without a trace, from the only home we ever knew to a small town that no one could even pronounce.
