Koenigsberg's shield and sword. Album. Zakharov A.E.

This book could be called "They fought for Königsberg." The fortress city, the stronghold of the knights of the Teutonic Order, the Prussian nobility, the Kaiser generals, the director officers who organized the attempt on Hitler... A fortress city, which, however, passed from hand to hand (Germans, Poles, Russians, French) and finally falling Under the onslaught of Soviet troops. And whatever one may say, they all fought - for Königsberg.

This is the third - after “Walking along Koenigsberg” and “The Golden Shadows of Königsberg” - a book written by journalists of the newspaper “New Wheels” and published in community with the publishing house “We Live”. And she is not only about the past. “Königsberg’s shield and sword” - a book about a city that can fulfill a different mission - connect Russia and Europe.
