cut the garrison forces with two powerful blows from the north and south. in converging directions and capture koneksberg. for this task , four armies with a total of about 130 thousand people were concentrated on the approaches to the city. but these troops were greatly weakened by the war. the division's regular strength was 10,000 soldiers, the soviet rifle divisions at köneberg numbered. our soldiers had a very hard time, because the best, healthiest and strongest reinforcements, they went to berlin, to berlin, that's where the goal of the war was, and here came those who were liberated from captivity, partisans came, former, young reinforcements came, who lived in the occupied regions of ukraine, belarus, moldova, that these were soldiers,

it was necessary to put them into action in the shortest possible time, teach them to align themselves, that's all this not a shapeless mass, it was necessary to unite, to give it a fighting spirit, to say that we must win, we must end this war with a victory, even from the point of view of preparing our own army, this was already a super task, vasilevsky had only a month to prepare the troops for the assault on the most fortified fortress in europe, training.

because they fought according to the red army charter, when he says, they stopped fighting according to the red army charter and won in stalingrad, here he says, when we are now preparing to storm kiesberg, we will also not fight according to the rules. on march 22, 1945, the red army command sent four groups of saboteurs, formed from germans, anti-fascists, into könexberg. soviet intelligence officers captured more than thirty enemy... soldiers and officers captured part of the combat documentation with the designations of german positions. in early april, soviet sappers demined the fields on the approaches to the city. all the city fortifications were photographed from the air. and it was photographed from the air an infinite number of times. they probably spent kilometers of film to understand how it is arranged. this city, because the forts were not

visible, if you look closely at the city of kaliningrad from the sky, it is covered with green foliage, only here by removing the tom... they determined where the forts are, when they created a model, it became clear to the command how the defense system is arranged. in early april , soviet artillery dropped tons of shells on the fort of koneksberg. the heaviest guns were delivered to the walls of the city: 305-millimeter howitzers of the 1915 model, produced back in tsarist russia. they were slow to load and could only fire at one shell every 3 minutes, but the rate of fire was compensated by accuracy. during 4 days of shelling, only at one of the forts in the south of the city, the soviet artillery fired about 400 shells, of which 331 hit the target.
11:36 am
from under the ground and uprooted trees emerged concrete brickwork of the german fortifications. shells broke through the ceiling, smashed armored observation caps. according to the memoirs of german soldiers, this shelling undermined the morale of the garrison, which lost faith in the reliability of the ancient casemates. the only significant problem in this destruction was the time required to guarantee the destruction of the fort, and therefore.

east prussia, well fortified, yes, so here there was already a task to take an isolated garrison by storm, to develop the offensive deep into the fortress, the red army needed to urgently suppress the resistance of the germans, in the remaining forts on the outskirts of the city, the assault on fort number was especially difficult... its walls could not be penetrated even by 24 -kilogram shells. on april 6, our assault groups tried to seize the fort at once, but encountered fierce resistance. the solution was found by lieutenant of the 175th
11:40 am
engineer battalion, ivan sidorov. on the night of on april 7, taking advantage of the fact that the german garrison had taken cover on the lower floors, sidorov made his way to the walls of the fort, where he collected two charges from captured mines and blew up the wall. as a result of the explosion, the... but did not lead to the surrender of the city, whose inhabitants continued to fight stubbornly. the germans
11:41 am
really fought there very courageously to the last, including because it was there that the troops that defended east prussia and konigsberg mainly tried to recruit local residents, those very same eastern prussians, who, due to the fact that, that it was their territory, they were there... and the wives of the konigsberg servicemen were turning to their sons and husbands, surrender your weapons,
11:42 am
that's enough, stop this resistance, and so on, the clergy were speaking out, saying god will curse you there, surrender, and so on, and even the garrison commander, general lyazh, was forced to publish his own leaflet in response to an appeal from one of these clergymen, saying don't listen to this priest, he's saying everything wrong. on april 7, the weather in the konigsberg area improved significantly. shortly after midday 516 heavy soviet long-range bombers appeared in the sky above the city. over the course of 45 minutes, they dropped 550 tons of bombs on various targets. the main blows were delivered to german reserves and firing points of the second and third lines of defense. after the bombing , chaos reigned in the city, communications between headquarters and
11:43 am
the garrison troops were disrupted, fires broke out everywhere, and many warehouses with ammunition and food were destroyed. commandant lyash later recalled. the destruction in the city was so great that it was impossible not to not only to move, but even to orient themselves. it was typical for the germans to equip buildings in cities as strong points, that is, windows were bricked up, barricades were erected. i would like to emphasize that this was not about destroying the city for the sake of destruction itself. the city was attacked during the day by heavy long-range bombers, but it was carried out with the aim, firstly, of preventing the transfer.
11:44 am
lyash ordered all available reserves to be thrown into battle, but the garrison, exhausted and cut off from supplies, could no longer turn the tide battle. by the evening of the same day, units of the red army, supported by heavy tanks, artillery and aviation, advanced forward. by 3-4 km, occupied the port, the railway station and many

city blocks in the northwest, finally cutting off könexberg from the reserves on the samland peninsula. however, the garrison continued to resist. fierce fighting on the streets of the city continued all day and all night. city combat is the highest military art. and city combat is not chaos. this. which were supposed to destroy wine shops, that is, machine gunners run into liquor store and break all the dishes, so that again the red army soldier, excuse me, would not get distracted and decide to just drink some water or something else there, that is

groupings, but their attack failed. on the morning of april 9, soviet troops resumed the assault on the city. disparate and exhausted groups of german soldiers took refuge in the eastern part of könechtsberg. there were fewer and fewer people willing to resist. soon the germans began surrender en masse. general lyash later recalled. towards the end , reports began to arrive more and more often that the soldiers who had taken refuge with the residents in the basements were losing their will to resist, in some places desperate women tried to snatch weapons from the soldiers and hang a white flag from the windows to put an end to the horrors of war.
11:48 am
air strikes from the south and from the north led to the fact that soviet troops entered the streets of the city quite quickly, this is also not entirely typical for german fortresses, here we can cite as an example of knowledge of breslau, in the case of kineksberg the blows were so strong that they practically deprived the garrison of any hope of resistance and lyash went to negotiations. their spirit was crushed, of course, they understood that there was no way out, but nevertheless they fought, but when all the ammunition depots were destroyed, when there was no food, when they lost communication, and lyash gathered the division commanders and everyone reported this sad situation, and he decided

hitler, he believed that lyash should commit suicide, as, for example, the commandant of the fortress pozdnoy did, sentenced him to death in absentia, but in general it was undoubtedly that the fall of such a stronghold as kinnikberg showed both the german high command and hitler personally, in fact, to everyone who was even slightly informed about these events, that... the fall of berlin is already becoming an immediate prospect. in honor of the grand victory in east prussia, 760 thousand red army soldiers were awarded the medal for the capture of könexberg. 216 soldiers and officers of the red

army were awarded the title of hero of the soviet union, and 98 military units were named könexberg. many of these units reached berlin and took part in the defeat of the japanese in the far east in august 1945. the routed garrison surrendered to the mercy of the victor. more than 70,000 soldiers and officers of the wehrmacht were captured. all of them, according to the agreements with the allies, they were sent to the ussr, where they participated in the restoration of the national economy destroyed by them. the best german divisions that reached stalingrad.
