The Fall of Nazi Germany

Surrender · Season 1

While the allied troops were confronted to the death camp horrors, the russians soldiers were engaged in a mercyless fight at the gates of Berlin. Just in this battle, the Russians lost up to 15,000 men per day! The Nazi commanders, enraged, kept throwing crowds of armed civilians on the streets - including many adolescents and old men - and continued to proclaim that victory was close! While the Russians successfully took over the Reichtag on April 30, 1945, Hitler committed suicide in his bunker. The Soviet soldiers then pillaged the city and systematically raped the women. On May 7 and 8, 1945, Germany's surrender was signed
