2025-04-16 - 80th an­niver­sary Fall of Berlin

The Red Army attack on Berlin began on 16 April 1945. About 3.5 million soldiers went into battle with thousands of guns and tanks on both sides. After fierce battles with countless dead and wounded, the German surrender took place on 2 May 1945 and the red flag blew on the Reichstag building.
