Read Taking Berlin by Martin Dugard, but didn’t enjoy it as much as Taking Paris. The parts about Patton and Martha Gellhorn were super interesting I’ve never read about Gellhorn before and she’s a fascinating individual. The rest was very disjointed and it was almost Russia, Russia, Russia bait with the Russiagate conspiracy thrown in at the end. I hate communism, but the Soviet contribution was barely there and what was seemed thrown in as an after thought. Which makes no sense because the Soviets actually capture Berlin. Altogether, a little disjointed but a solid read.
