Need resources for an assignment, any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Hi - we as mods have approved this thread, because while this is a homework question, it is asking for clarification or resources, rather than the answer itself, which is fine according to our rules. This policy is further explained in this Rules Roundtable thread and this META Thread.
As a result, we'd also like to remind potential answerers to follow our rules on homework - please make sure that your answers focus appropriately on clarifications and detailing the resources that OP could be using.
Additionally, while users may be able to help you out with specifics relating to your question, we also have plenty of information on /r/AskHistorians on how to find and understand good sources in general. For instance, please check out our six-part series, "Finding and Understanding Sources", which has a wealth of information that may be useful for finding and understanding information for your essay.
"A Woman in Berlin" by Anonymous is an autobiography by a woman who was in the city when it was taken over, and then occupied, by Soviet soldiers. A lot of discussion people focus on in this book is the widespread rapes of civilians by the soldiers, but it includes much more than that. It's an account of daily life, and includes details like the struggle to find food, adequate shelter, or how people managed to bury the dead. I found you a free preview of the first 5 pages, before the Soviets reached where she lived. It includes a few snippets of conversation about the advancing troops. Oh, and the woman who wrote it? She was (much) later revealed to be a journalist, named Marta Hillers. Here's a link to the free preview.
