little we were. you just of it entered world war two with a few tanks it had bought from france in your country was modernizing its weaponry at the time. the locals could see and hear telltale signs of approaching soviet tanks girl first they had a deafening noise then they saw smoke and dust rising above the horizon and finally they saw the enormous monsters of tanks his numbers and capabilities were well above any of the tanks that had appeared in the balkans before the serbs were simply stunned by the soviet tanks. forty four. troops and resistance fighters to break to belgrade street to street block after block. of time to freedom. these veterans strolling through belgrade doctors recommended for the health but

they enjoy it because it makes them feel through the streets where they used to fight the germans. are popular front street where there was a victorious uprising in one nine hundred forty one. changed the name they should. have no business changing names history shouldn't be changed. there are quite a few streets of belgrade bearing two names it so happens that one of the streets is officially known as. people still read the street to avoid confusion the authorities decided to put up signs bearing both names. i hear a total eight thousand russian. troops were buried in a very large pit dug here between this monument this place that was two days after

the liberation of belgrade. twenty four tanks went through the streets tanks. with a body of a soviet tanks. there was a band playing at the front of the. veterans say today's belgrade is very different from the city of nine hundred forty four. like many other european cities but no other city in eastern europe suffered as much as. the polish capital was to be razed to the ground those instructions were carried out with cruel determination

. today it's hard to imagine that here where these beautiful streets restored castles now stand they used to be just broken rocks people completely rebuilt their city stone by stone. dessert. the germans are driving people out over the left bank of the river once again the city is being systematically destroyed street after street and it showed us after house is that my buildings are being blown up and burned all it's a bit plainly the c.d.'s being raised to the ground. the nazis made inventories of old buildings that had survived damn raids and blew them up in accordance with it's clear cut chad duell they made a special point of destroying historical buildings and architectural landmarks as a matter of priority not psy-ops experts prepared

a special register just for this purpose. is only cool if the entire all the castle was in ruins that's the gist you nineteen forty five zero three and some small structural elements were left open and that. also separation was different from other cities in january nine hundred forty five the red army drove the occupiers out and entered warsaw but unlike elsewhere the local population didn't line the streets to welcome soviet soldiers the polish capital was a deserted city only a day after the german retreat the first refugees began returning to what was left of their capital poland suffered much more than any other european country it was also a key part longer than others here the second world war started when the nazis attacked

on september the first nine hundred thirty nine but many historians onto the war began much. to shift the we're not proud there are fairly sure is nobody wants to discuss your morning about the many kid greenman for instance when it was dismembered way might well be considered an earlier starting to eat for the war god another. could be the. national socialist germany not swallowed up austria. almost the thirteenth one thousand nine hundred thirty eight hitler triumphantly entered vienna but the un truce was not a civilized action it was a powerful military absorption. the war came to an end for many european towns in the spring of one thousand nine hundred five on april the thirteenth the german surrendered in vienna the city of

mozart and strauss was free again austria regained its independence people everywhere destroy the traces of the anschluss welcomed the soviet liberating troops and dumped waltz's in the town squares. the fighting continued in neighboring czechoslovakia all made a face people in prague staged an uprising they flew the national flag from windows and built barricades. radio prog called on the city's residents to stand up to the hardships of the wars last hours. of that time slot a fourth of a was a seventeen year old miss. eastman said we were targeted even when we went out to pick up the wounded for example although we were wearing armbands with the red cross on them three living. when where you went to collect some metson for the wounded we found ourselves undefined too that there were many dead and wounded

people that we had to. they were the final casualties of the war's last days german troops under the command of the experienced field marshal general shona were gradually pulling back westwards as they continued fighting with the resistance chynna knew that the red army was approaching. and he had no desire to surrender to soviet troops. there were german troops in what to p.t. had to be three hospital trains. they were right here. they were mocked as hospital trains but in fact they were not but are now the germans had weapons with them. they were not going to surrender even though the war was over. they wanted to get to the americans at any cost they were scared of fresh troops.

soviet troops entered praga made the mines today's progs still dotted with small memorial markers like this hand raised to given. the inscription says we will stay committed they signify the resistance fighters died here. cemetery it's here the dread army soldiers who died liberating praga buried. the body. i see you've laid flowers so that is a great honor. why. i first came here a long time ago a young nurse's beret here i don't even know if your relatives know that she lives here there she was simply what a flower in her grave and leave she was about twenty two years old i think. such

a long way from. many of those who live here live just long enough to hear the word victory ranks and even had a brief chance to celebrate but they were killed by german snipers who stayed behind after the close and the remnants of the nazi war machine continue to slaughter soldiers weeks after the german surrender. but those who survived. get together. with her it's so nice to see your. form of check and. sometimes to celebrate public holidays well simply to. help yourself. please journey. where you know these men are let me give you the medal of czechoslovakia. as a keepsake. i'm quite happy although i don't wear them.

neither do i you can see ever only got one. they show each other newspaper cuttings photos of their children their grandchildren and of course themselves in these photos their in their prime wearing them. well well no dear looking at pleasure. they were days of the victory day in such painstaking detail. today. we were given good food just imagine a regiment enjoying the siege of leningrad here the guys are given milk. bones there are so fresh you can squeeze them and they pop back to their original shape that's what i call a feast. we stuck to fire a german takes. the earth of my country and it's stuck to my lips.

some. of. them they're always happy to. each of them. the veterans insists that the young must. this medal is for valor this one is for services to the country this one is for brotherhood and unity. by the yugoslav. people's army. veterans tell young people about the stories of those who missed their victorious shot of vodka about those who died liberating cities and countries from fascism about those who couldn't hear the night in jail singing in the spring of nine hundred forty five who couldn't watch the lilacs fall on the tanks or see those who kissed the liberating soldiers. hundreds of songs in many languages have been dedicated to these war heroes they didn't live to see the piece of their memory lives on and use it.
