How World War II ended in Europe. What happened when the Allied advance from the west met the Soviet attack from the east as told by U. S. & Soviet veterans who were there at the Elbe River April 25, 1945. Their impressions 40 years later. Elements of the U. S. 69th Division meet forces of Gen. Zhadov's 5th Guard Army at Strehla. How two 104th "Timberwolves" captured a cousin of the famed Red Baron. How for 32 hours, between the American & Soviet lines, they were held prisoners of Totemkopf troops that were threatened with Nazi reprisal if they surrendered, & annihilation if they didn't. How they influenced the considerations of SS commanders sweating out the dilemma while Hitler decided whether to die in the Alps or Berlin.

A moving expression of hunger for peace & the sacrifices required to attain it.
