Final at Flensburg: The story of Field Marshal Montgomery's battle for the Baltic (1973) By Charles Whiting
 
It was a great battle - perhaps the last great battle to be fought by the British Army. A whole German army surrendered and this led to the complete breakdown of the entire enemy defence facing the Westen Allies. But it was a political battle too - one not only designed to beat the German enemy, but also a new enemy from the East - the erstwhile Russian ally. Its aim was to break through the German defences on the River Elbe so that Montgomery's men could fight their way to the Baltic coast and thus prevent the advancing Russians from moving westwards into north-west Europe. In the end, the plan was a failure, and the thousands of British soldiers who had slogged the hard, bitter road back from Dunkirk to Lubeck five years later, found that their victory was a hollow one.
