Beyond Volkssturm: Total War in East Prussia

In this video Dr. Bastiaan Willems Postdoctoral Fellow at the University College London and I discuss the war in East Prussia specifically in Königsberg in 1945. At this point of the war, the militarization of the German population reached a new level and it went "beyond the Volkssturm", now everyone was in some way involved in military service from kids to women.
