Prit Buttar is a British general practitioner and writer.
Prit Buttar is a British general practitioner and writer. He has written six books: Battleground Prussia: The Assault on Germany's Eastern Front 1944-45 (2010), Between Giants: The Battle of the Baltics in World War II (2013), Collision of Empires: The War on the Eastern Front in 1914 (2014), Germany Ascendant: The Eastern Front 1915 (2015), Russia's Last Gasp: The Eastern Front 1916-17 (2016) and The Splintered Empires: The Eastern Front 1917-21 (2017).
Prit Buttar studied medicine at Oxford and London before joining the Royal Army as a doctor. After leaving the army, he has worked as a GP, first near Bristol and now in Abingdon. In most books, this Eastern Front campaign is only briefly covered as a short bridge between Operation Bagration and the fall of Berlin, even though it included some of the most ferocious combat of the entire war. I consider myself an amateur historian and own well over 400 books on World War II, with an emphasis on the Eastern Front, and this book contains a lot of new information to me and fills in some of the gaps in my knowledge of the war in this theater. I do have two nits to pick though.

Pritt Buttar’s look at the Soviet assault on Prussia focuses on the brutality and vengeance of the Red Army’s merciless campaign. Through previously unseen testimony and sagacious analysis by the author, the chilling events of 1944-45 Prussia are brought to life. Buttar assumes the perspectives of both those at command level and of the soldiers on the front-line. We learn how men of different ranks reacted to the horror. Each chapter is prefixed by a poignant quote, ranging from part of a Goebbels speech to an extract from Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago.
