On Friday 22 August at 7pm I’ll be a featured guest on the excellent WW2TV YouTube channel, talking to historian and host Paul Woodadge about my latest book ‘Escape from Berlin – the incredible journey of the Latvian 15th SS Division Janums Battle Group’, which is published by Helion.
Colonel Janums abandoned his positions south-east of Berlin as the Red Army approached and marched them 125km through forests and swamps to surrender to the Americans at the Elbe. His adjutant Edvins Busmanis get a diary – and 80 years later I follow in their footsteps.
