The Red Army meanwhile was rolling relentlessly westwards, with its own highly developed tank forces now equipped with T34\/85s and the huge IS-2 heavy tanks, intent on taking Berlin and as much German territory as possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir battles decided the fate of Germany. This book covers their initial encounters on the German frontier in 1944 (East Prussia), the fighting of the Oder-Vistula offensive in January 1945 and describes the condition of the German tank forces and their Hungarian allies as they were beaten back. It also considers the huge impact of The Red Army and other significant Allied forces such as those from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Romania on the outcome of victory in the war.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteven J.
