red army that saved the world. moscow turned east germany into a fortress. today, there is something ghostly about the soviet legacy. red by memories of communism. monuments to a fallen superpower. this is wunsdorf, near berlin. it was used by the nazis and then seized by the soviets, it was the red army's largest base outside the ussr. the soldiers called it a little moscow. east germans knew it as the forbidden city. the scale of the soviet military presence in east germany was staggering. there were 800 garrisons here, and half a million soviet troops. but then again, for moscow, this was its key outpost in europe. and its east german comrades were happy to play host. the wunsdorf base feels suspended in time. there are places here where the soviet past comes to life. oh, wow, look at this. this is amazing. this says, "berlin operation 1945." this shows the red army's last major offensive at the end of world war ii. so, these arrows, this is the soviet troops advancing on berlin. communist russia thought its ideas, its ideology, would bind east germany to moscow forever. but it was wrong. when the berlin wall fell, e

red ball express. the red ball express basically was a convoy of supply trucks. got a moving army, think about him racing across france, you need to be able to keep up with them with food and gasoline, keeping your troops moving. john mack lost his dog tags on the beaches of normandie when he came ashore as part of the red ball express. over 70 years later, just a couple years ago, his dog tags were rediscovered by a farmer in france who then sent them to the secretary of state's office here in louisiana. and he presented us with the dog tags. so since john mack and his dog tags came home 70 years later, here in the case as well you can see the red ball express's badge that they wore on their uniforms. we're now moving into a bunker. a bunker that is supposed to be a german bunker. basically, after the failure of marketed garden in september 1944 when we came up one bridge too short from being able to invade into northern germany, people still hoped the war might be over by christmas or a little later. some people included omar bradley and dwight eisenhower. ouf however, this was a terrible misjudgement. as we got closer to the german border, basically resistance stiffened. in this german bunker that we're standing in, we learned the story of the battle of forest ash, a brutal, nasty affair that held us

red army of southeastern germany and czechoslovakia. and it was unoccupied for about six weeks from the beginning of may and the middle of june because the front lines of the red army in the east and west had frozen. josef mengele had a chance to join the unit and build a convincing cover story no longer clad in the us is uniform and still decided wisely at some point they needed to surrender to the soviets and then end of area and then took into custody and with those pow camps and likely at the end was released under his own name. there are three reasons why he was released even though he was on the wanted list created was very interestingly distributed in the second reason is that josef mengele and was part of the unit to be well integrated but the most important reason is that josef mengele didn't have the ss tattoo under his left arm of the blood type of their soldiers so that if they were wounded than medics would know what blood to use for transfusion. he did not have that blood type tattoo and then to pass through and to have them take off the shirts and then josef mengele could be released without any further interrogation. and false identity papers a

red army soldiers. a lot of them were going over to these peasant armies, who were taking their guns and fighting against the redoldiers. it is not like this is a front line. in our civil war, there is the north and the south. in the russian civil war, it is chaos all over the place. relation to the collectivization of agriculture that followed shortly? >> in some ways, there might be a slight connection, only in the fact that after the bolsheviks seized power, the reds begin to requisition grain from peasants. they go out and take the grain. this stopped in 1921 where they retreat from these extreme measures and you get the beginning of the new economic policy. they can keep their grain and pay a tax on it, that sort of thing. say, --, you could stalin, you could say, starts the revolution all over again. the peasants are forced onto collective farms and under much tighter control. that was obviously a factor in the famine that breaks out in the early 1930's. there is also a national component to that. the reason we know so much about the famine in the 1930's is because much of it was centered in ukraine. the u

red army soldiers. a lot of them were going to these peasant armies, who were then taking their guns and fighting against the red soldiers, who were terrorizing the russian countryside. it is not like there is a front line. in our civil war, there is the north and there is the south and there is a front line. in the russian civil war, it is chaos going all over the place. yeah, exactly. >> is there any relation to the collectivization in agriculture that followed shortly? or it just happened? douglas: in some ways, there may be a slight connection, only in the fact that early after the bolsheviks seized power, the reds begin to requisition grain from the peasants. they basically go out and take the grain. this practice is stopped in 1921, when they have a retreat from these extreme measures, and you get the beginning of what's called "n.e.p.," economic policy, and they can keep their grain and pay tax on it. stalin, in a way, you could say, starts the revolution all over again, both in the cities and in the countryside, and that peasants are now forced into collective farms and are put under much tighter control

red pantaloons. the practical part of this idea is that the army was well supplied with red pantaloons. those of you who are civil war buffs, i caliber before you, i'm ready. but those of you who know about the war know that in the early weeks the craze for the rich style of uniform was a thing and that as they seek to the north they had shorts jackets with friends and redaloons and other distinctive options but they proved in military context to be kind of a liability. [laughter] and within some weeks, no white soldier is willing to step these depositions to notify. we can get the black troops to wear them. grateful to the opportunity to have some nice pants were to put them in these uniforms, this is his idea. not just to say that it's has a very un-planning element as well but it points finger at stanton when he's Ãbi wanted to say there are two places that come early into the fear of union control. in most places the united states would lose in the first year of the civil war. but the two places that are within axis of our making easy for the union can to control because the confederate navy can't resist the bulk of the union naval power. and it's easy to claim. adjacent to georgia, south carolina and florida and also newark which saw the union in spring of 62 coming into union control in november 1961. these places are the first to really experimen

red square was sent directly to the front i. yell and i was just 22 and the mother of a 2 year old son but the red army needed interpreters and yelena who spoke german volunteered 4 years later she was part of the soviet union in berlin that was trying to track down nazi leaders. nobody knew where hitler was there were rumors of him lying dead or dying a victim of a brain hemorrhage or that he had taken his own life. but according to soviet radio hitler was alive and well and in hiding in the alps it was said that a double was fighting in his place on the streets of berlin and nancy. and there was only waiting for his death to present the allies with appropriate photos another rumor claimed that hitler was hiding in the ruins of the rock stuck. capturing the right stark was a historical moment raising the red flag above the parliament building symbolize the victory over the 3rd reich. well 1st of all. and it was our units that led the attack on the high statue. we were lucky it was a great honor for us. they stormed the reichstag thinking hitler was hiding there but really nobody knew where he was. but hitler wasn't in the reichstag it had burned down in 1933. the red army front line headed to the chancery before my heart of nazi power told the civil estate it was exciting to imagine hitler could still be there we were on edge but where was hitler was he alive or dead. shift you. german radio announced the death of a few of us who fell in his heroic battle against bolshevism shortly afterwards german chief of staff hun skype's went to soviet headquarters he wanted to begin surrender negotiations and told marshall georg asia about hitler's death. so while bitter fighting continued on the streets of berlin the small soviet advance units with yelena the interpreter reached the chancery. close

red storm rising. xi saying to the people's liberation army, prepare for war. and the, and clearly, war with the united states. your reaction. >> well, the redrm rising has been going on for a number of years. certainly it was accelerated when president xi took over in 2013. the problem is the previous administration and the world at large refused to acknowledge what was really taking place. xi wanted to dominate the asia-pacific region. he said so in his speeches, and he wanted to replace the united states as the world's global leader, and then he put a military accelerated development program in place, and he also became a huge economic predator and intellectual property theft. all that has been happening. i will admit since covid-19 has taken place, lou, and because he's been backed into the corner a little bit because of international criticism, he's lashing out more than he has in the past. and now he's meeting with the national party congress in beijing, some of this, i believe, is posturing, you know, about the threat of war. if he had war, he would never be able to achieve any of his objectives that he has for the country. and that w
