the teachings of the president of the united states where he writes, so now the russian is already in austria they are about to take a vein, and they are about to take berlin well, then the meaning is not too much. this is fat for them, they will imagine that they won the war, so we must try to enter the headset a few years later on november 23, 1954, speaking in front of the voters in utford. churchill spoke even more frankly before the end of the war, at a time when the germans were surrendering in the hundreds of thousands. i sent a telegram to lord montgomery ordering him carefully collect german weapons and store them in such a way that they can be easily distributed again to german soldiers with whom we would have to cooperate if the soviet offensive continued. churchill even came up with the name of future military operations against the ussr is unthinkable. according to this plan, the war against the soviet union was to begin on july 1, 1945

with the forces of the 112th division, including the 10th division of the wehrmacht, which the british captured. the undisbanded was transferred to camps in the land of sweden in gonstein in southern denmark daily trained these personnel for a future war. but that’s not all among the american generals, there was such a undertone of a tank general who said the war should in no case stop through poland through ukraine through belarus to stalingrad russia, by the way, after the end of the war, then he was appointed governor of the accident, but soon he

dreams of his post pro-nazi sentiment, many other american and british generals have taken a much more reserved stance for a simple reason. they believed that to unleash a war with the soviet union is easier than to successfully end its risk that this new war will not end beyond the urals . and on the shores of the bay of biscay, it turned out to be too big for them. on the evening of april 12, 1945 , franklin university of georgia died of a brain hemorrhage at work spring . harry trumpan became the new president of the united states, barely at the helm of the state ship. truman said the russians would soon be put in their place and then the united states would take the lead in moving the world along the path that it needed to lead hitler also very much counted on the fact that the russians would break because they did not have enough strength. he played for time as best he could, if he had succeeded,

everything could have turned out quite differently. imagine that the germans were able to support their grandfathers due to the fact that the russians suddenly decided to work. cleverly slowly in a good way, without rushing. uh, attack. not for machine guns and so on, the germans created by may 1945. the world's first intercontact ballistic missile called faladdin called the world's first active a plane called 2062 is the best submarine in the world , in contrast to american submarines, which in the fifty-fifth year had to

enter the port every night to recharge the german cords already in the forty-fifth could have been in autonomous navigation without recharging for several months, if the germans had time make enough of them, then they would have a real opportunity. uh, that is, uh, such a kind of miracle weapon, where there are six months left for heisenberg to create a real atomic, and she already has a ready-made rocket, to hit with this bomb. well, if it is then london and moscow and if we were so shaky, rolled, uh, the coats of berlin, then we could give the germans, these are the germans, we would be able to create a weapon against which there is

nothing against. i repeat the nuclear missile of a submarine, which is impossible and aviation is faster, which does not exist in the world. so, to answer this question for yourself. and whether it was necessary quickly or slowly, according to stalin's idea, the berlin operation was supposed to be a show of force on our part. the soviet leader wanted not only finally crush nazi germany well, once again. to remind you that the red army is stronger than ever and it is not safe to play war games with the soviet union. looking at modern berlin it is hard to imagine that in april 1945 the city center was turned into a living hell of fires , there were so many fires that at night it became light as during the day the stones of the buildings burst from the heat, the waters

and canals began to boil. there was nothing to breathe, the air became hot and suffocating from smoke, and gary the desperate fight went on. for every street for every house in dark rooms and on stairs electricity in berlin was cut off for a long time now and then broke out hand-to-hand combat. early in the morning of april 29, the fighters of the seventy-ninth rifle corps of the general-revertkin approached the huge building of the ministry of internal affairs to the graveyard, the capture of this building opened up the approaches of the richth to the advancing units, berlin was divided into sectors in each of which were defended by aa and volzturnovtsy and regularly german units. well, just a little about this is said that both the center of berlin and the nazi flight office directly

it was the ss units that guarded, and then defended. and what is interesting here is that among them were scandinavians and baltic particles. and even parts of the svensco connection of charm. these are the french, who naturally had nothing to lose and who defended themselves and resisted in desperation, of course, the doomed troops broke through the zoo in a day. here, among the funnels of the pavilions torn apart by explosions, the soldiers found several miraculously saved animals, including a mountain goat for courage, german iron bars were hung around his neck . cross next to the zoo soviet assault squads. they were attacked by the ussr from the ruined subway tunnels, pursuing them, the fighters penetrated the underground and discovered passages that led towards the office, a plan immediately arose to finish off the fascist

beast in its lair. the scouts went deeper into the tunnels, but after a couple of hours, it was the meeting that water gushed. the history of the flooding of the berlin subway, when many berliners who hid there from the bombings died in the tunnels and at the station, another dramatic page of the fall of the fascist reich is dramatic and by now fairly overgrown with myths. the most common version. mitro was flooded by order of hitler, indeed it was flooded. well, for some reason i’m not ordering, there was not a single confirmation that the gateways were opened on hitler’s orders, and so on and so on, the thing is that the metro in berlin is very shallow, sitting, or what? there

are no escalators, no deep stations, here they are close to the surface of the earth. well, of course, when there was such a war. and bombings and explosions large-caliber shells, uh, we simply had leaks, which means that somewhere water penetrated people into the subway. there, of course, they died, because , uh, the subway tunnels were used as a bomb shelter . well, and this is where such a common misconception came from, that this was done by order. worst of all was our tankers. the narrow streets of the city were in themselves a trap for powerful heavy equipment, it must be said that the attack of our tanks. here they prepared well on the site of this house there were ruins where tools were hidden. against

here the nazis dug in a tank tower, which looked strictly along the street, on which ours would inevitably appear and such dances stood, at every intersection it was worth setting fire to. the first tank and the rest were stopped by the newest fascists. the cartridges burned through the armor of the tank through and through, in order to protect its cartridge, they used everything that was possible. well, for example, some kind of metal grate that hung tanks.

it's amazing that they used as these improvised means, even mattresses from some beds that had this metal springs so that the face of the cartridge does not burn through. uh, the first batches of captured german soldiers were pulled to the rear. the soldiers came out with their hands up from the basements and entrances of houses. many were deafened by the unceasing grotto, others went mad and laughed wildly. and those who remained in their minds now feared most of all together the winners the avengers of course, there were them could not be. after what the nazis did on soviet soil, there were also those who risked their lives, pulled german old people and children out of the fire, who shared their soldier soldering. the feat of sergeant nikolai masalov, who here on the landwier canal saved a three- year-old girl from a destroyed house after the war

, was immortalized by the famous statue in a trep in the park in memory of soviet soldiers who managed to preserve humanity in the fire of the most terrible bend. on the morning of april 30, soviet troops finally broke through to the troops. konev was a couple of blocks away from him, when the order came from the headquarters to stop, i understood what i experienced, and most importantly, his soldiers who had so few left it’s hard to imagine to the cherished goal, but stalin decided to take this building, on which the victory is to be hoisted with us, it is the beetle that, by the way, is still not clear to historians. why exactly the reichstag became the main goal of our offensive. why the final victory was associated with his capture after the fire of the thirty-third year, the german parliament in the reichstag did not meet even once, in fact. this building was an empty stone box. it was much more important to capture the office flight and,

especially hitler's bunker on our soldiers. rake was determined as the main goal. my father took bern. and you know, when i was a boy, he filled out questionnaires and the question was whether you were abroad, he wrote, yes he was, where were you, he writes poland and germany, a means and there, and what kind of transport and how is it to travel on these sides. he wrote on a tank, no one had ever seen a sheet in their life. they searched feverishly this most damned so. and only when they took the ministry of the interior, the departments of goebbels, and propaganda e hmm and went to an incomprehensible building.

they dragged some german from the basement and asked you if my father knew about them tires. uh, hyunda hoh. yes, here is such a small set of german. uh-huh and the german said that this is a gaistan taxi driver. the first thing that the reichstag was beaten off at 18:00 followed that for 5 hours the fighters meter by meter moved forward and up to the roof, decorated with giant bronze places, they instructed sergeants egorov and kantaria to load the flag. it was decided that one of the soldiers, in which the heroic role should be russian, and the second one was not chosen by a georgian, thinking that stalin would be pleased to participate in this symbolic act of his land. they were led upstairs by a ukrainian, a lieutenant, birch kantaria and yegorov, for their feat, received the title of heroes of the soviet union. my even almost in

yushchenko's presidency is literally further. this is the very heroes of ukraine. for this very feat, there was something like that, but then they didn’t hand him anything, that is, he was also presented to the hero, but they didn’t to hand egorov and cantaria, were not at the reichstag. the first, according to some reports, the first on the roof of the german parliament, broke through the group of the captain. markov, it was 3 hours before egorov and kantare appeared there, why, in addition to the considerations already expressed about the national composition of the group, they became the very heroes whom the whole world knows. there are several options here, firstly, all the other replacements, which and the flags that were hoisted over the reichstag were homemade like that, but the cantaria, and yegorov they are

hoisted the banner of the military council of the third shock army, the military council of the third shock army decided to make nine banners according to the number of divisions included in it 150 divisions that served yegorov and the cantar was issued the banner at number 5 carried this knowledge with battles through all of berlin through the hardest. uh, testing. many divisions couldn't even uh. this is the knowledge that was handed over preserved. it either died, or there e in battle in some way it was destroyed, and so on, therefore, of all the banners that were handed over to e, it means command of the military council of the third shock army.

only one knowledge was hoisted over the reichstan. on the one hand, on the other hand, these are the banners that were the first to hoist them, they hoisted the dome of the reichstan on the western side, and from dawn the germans opened one. uh, the fire, crushing, that all these banners were destroyed, burned, and so on and so forth, and the banner of which the cantaria with yegor was on the eastern side. it is the only one that has survived . in the middle of the german generals, far from all were fanatics, and far from all. they are sought to sacrifice themselves to the ideas of the dying reich and the half-mad fuhrer. i myself observed many events that well are connected with the last days, so to speak, well, when

berlin had not yet collapsed, the garrison was still resisting. this is what we are talking about, what, uh, when here we are, our 35th guards division hmm, it was, uh, in the area of ​​uh, government buildings, this is wilhelm strasse. it's literal. so to speak, within reach. there, probably, 400 500 meters, uh to the elistag. here and uh we have through our uh division through our regiment. by the way, the negotiations of the germans took place. e, came, e, daulya, at the beginning of the colonel, then he brought general krebs, e, who was led e to the commander of the army, chukov, krabs told

hitler’s suicide i wish his successor goebels to conclude with changes a number of historians believe that these negotiations should have tightened the time in anticipation of a separate agreements between the government and the western powers, but they did not achieve their goal. chuikov immediately called zhukov, who, in turn, demanded to connect himself with the commander in chief. stalin at that evening of april 30 went to bed early. in the morning he was to take the may day parade on red square, but zhukov insisted that stalin be awakened. the first reaction from stalin to everything about hitler's suicide you played a scoundrel of such a eulogy you were awarded the great fuhrer, once the great third reich, soon a representative of zhukov arrived at chuikov's headquarters

. the answering silence was the eloquence of spring. full unconditional immediate surrender with these, so to speak, a long conversation went on for a long time kreps persuaded, but at night so he was uh, taken out and we watched like this, as i watch you, so i watched him. this is , uh, a basement. uh, we had semi-basements, so such windows. well, as forms it was, so to speak, cutting edge. he was transferred back and with him, uh, don-fine. this same colonel went, and then he returned after a while and said that it means that the leadership does not

agree. and what uh? the fights will continue. you you understand, this is such a wild decision, the hostilities, suspended for a while, began at 18:30 the soldiers of the fifth army of general berzarin went to storm the last stronghold of nazism of the imperial chancellery 2 hours later, when the first group of attackers had already approached the building of goebbels his wife. magda followed hitler's example and accepted before that they asked the doctor to administer a lethal injection to their six children. them. said they would give an injection that would never hurt them again a few hours later in the basement reich chancellery. he put a bullet in his forehead and general krebs on the night of may 2, the commander of the defense. berlin, general weidling announced to the soviet

command the surrender of the fifty-sixth tank corps subordinate directly to him. at 6:00, crossing the front line in the band of the eighth guards army. he surrendered at the suggestion of the soviet bedling command, signed an order for the berlin garrison to cease resistance and lay down their arms. we ask for a ceasefire on behalf of the uh, that means uh, the head of the berlin garrison in order to cease fire. and that a place is assigned for negotiations , under the ladies' bridge, yes, well, yes, there was a command to cease fire and the meeting really took place, which means that issues with surrender were resolved there, and on that, as a matter of fact, uh, the matter

was over in the last battle of the great patriotic war red army times. 95 enemy divisions during the battle killed about 150,000 german soldiers and officers 300,000 were captured victory and we were given a hard time two weeks of advance. we lost up to 200,000 people killed and about 150,000 berlin civilians . also were laid on the altar of war almost nothing left berlin had 250,000 buildings. moreover, this is russian vologda, where half of berlin's stone houses are emphasized, that is, each house was turned into an actual fortress of 200,000 or completely or a significant part was destroyed. only 50,000 were

relatively destroyed. one can imagine how fierce the battle was by conventional means without the use of heavy aircraft at 15 o'clock, may 2 the enemy completely ceased resistance in berlin our troops took about 135,000 soldiers prisoner that day. an unusually tense silence hung over berlin. and then it was blown up by a flurry of new shots, soviet soldiers on the steps of the crystal. on the ruins of the imperial office, fireworks were fired upwards, i was so long-awaited for victory by strangers, hugging, crying, laughing, kissing. immediately, you and i arranged dances. now the most important most

difficult. it was to believe. what is war? ended . it is impossible to even imagine what our

troops when they heard on the german radio on may 2 the order of the commandant of berlin, general weidling , to cease fire. the garrison of the capital of the third reich capitulated to believe that the war was over was simply impossible. it was unthinkable huge physically almost unbearable. everyone was glad that the victory and somehow could not believe that it was finally over. all this hell i will never forget this fraternization, with people whom we first saw the last time, but you understand the feelings of an unusual and emotional upsurge, and we are all friends. kissed each other and we all congratulated each other. i

can say in berlin in the center you’ll forget it, don’t think about it, we’ll take a deep look, opposite the restaurant, and here is the janderburg gate, which berlin fell on may 2 with the stone that laid it down, but germany signed the capitulation only on the night of may 8-9 for a whole week strange without time. it would seem in the name ended. in fact, it continues both legally and in fact. about this very important short turning point in the history of civilization, few people know and remember, excluding, of course, the most important milestones of those days, but

remember, stop. on may 2, it was cold in berlin, light rain was pouring, smoldering ruins and dead bodies lay next to the corpses with flags with a swastika and hundreds of party cards. after berlin fell through the streets of a frozen city, which now only occasionally exploded in bursts of short skirmishes, people from the special departments of the soviet army passed, their main task was to search for the bodies of representatives of the highest military elite of nazi germany. however, the closer the sabists approached the city center, the more often they stopped and looked at more than a thousand bodies in black ss uniforms devoid of signs by which one could determine which unit they belong to and what rank they

were. they were found on the outskirts of the reichstan, most of all amazing. the race of these people. these were the tibetans of hitler's secret army whose task was to fight for the enthusiastic mystic and fuhrer on the astral level, however, the desperate attacks of the soviet army forced hitler to throw them into battle. in another completely material dimension there were fanatics who, uh, didn't want to. so, who , well, did everything in order to, so to speak, destroy our salads as much as possible, others were afraid that this propaganda was terrible, which said that all germans were mandatory, which means they would be sent in shackles to siberia and so on. well, probably the results of this, uh, propaganda, so to speak. they said the

residents of the city began to come out of the shelter at the russian soldiers, they looked from under their foreheads, they were afraid, they were waiting, mostly bad to make contact. helped children, guys, 10-12 years old approached the soldiers of the red army to go looking for a long time for their children, who remained at home. they were treated to their name with bread and sugar. all this wealth is greedily reclaimed. volos, it became obvious that the colonel-general, berzarin, who had been appointed commandant of berlin, had been starving for a long time and severely in the city, ordered to rectify the situation. as far as possible, at his direction, it was organized in berlin
