A Conversation with author, Thomas Goodrich.
In thisedition of World View Conversations author Thomas Goodrich will discuss his book, "Hellstorm, the Death of NAZI Germany 1944-1947”
“It
was the most deadly and destructive war in human history. Millions were
killed, billions in property was destroyed, ancient cultures were
reduced to rubble--World War II was truly man's greatest cataclysm.
Thousands of books, movies and documentary films have been devoted to
the war. There has never been such a terrible retelling of the story,
however, as one will find in Hellstorm. In a chilling "you-are-there"
style, the author places the reader at the scene, in the moment.
Throughout this book readers will see what Allied airman saw as they
rained down death on German cities; or the reader will experience what
those below experienced as they sat trembling in their bomb shelters
awaiting that very same death from above. The reader will view up close
the horrors of the Eastern Front during the last months of fighting and
through the mud, blood and madness of combat they may come to understand
how the same German soldiers, who only moments before had destroyed an
enemy tank, could now risk their own lives to rescue the trapped Soviet
crew inside. Readers will witness for themselves the fate of German
women as the rampaging Red Army raped and murdered its way across
Europe--all females, from "eight to eighty" feared the dreaded words,
"Frau Komm." The worst nautical disasters in history which claimed
thousands of lives, the greatest mass migration known to man in which
millions perished, the fate of those wretched victims in post-war death
camps and torture chambers, these and many other dark secrets of World
War II now come to light in Hellstorm.”
