Can anyone recommend books on the above please? Apart from Le Tissiers I'm not aware of any others.

Also in parts Tieke:

Re: Books on Seelow Heights
Another good account is from the book With Our Backs to Berlin, by Tony Le Tissier, Sutton Publishing 2001. Good first had accounts and great maps.

Thank you both, appreciated.
Re: Books on Seelow Heights
In my my new book on the combat history of the 1st Guards Tank Army which was just per-announced on amazon there will be a comprehensive coverage of the Seelow Heights including previously classified critical analysis of these combats by Generals Katukov, Chuikov, Babadzhanyan and others at the special conference conducted in 1946 by the Group of the Soviet Troops in Germany to study what went well and what went wrong in the Berlin operation.
