The Battle of Berlin

April 16, 1945. The Red Army is at the doorstep of the centre of Hitler's Third Reich. The promise of a thousand year Reich has now become a dull glimpse of the past. Along the Soviet line are 2,500,000 men, 6,250 tanks, 7,500 aircraft and supported by some 41,600 artillery pieces all poised to put the red banner on the summit of the Reichstag. The German Army defending the city were nothing like the victorious army that marched through France just 5 years earlier. Though it was only a shadow of its former self, the German Army, supplemented by men from the police force, boys of the Hitler Youth and the old men of the Volkssturm totalling 766,750 men have no intention of giving up their capital city. This is a story of Berlin's final hours, this is the story of one of mankind's bloodiest battle, this is the story of the Battle of Berlin.
