I was in Berlin last year. While walking around this city, I found it difficult to comprehend that it had been utterly destroyed during WW2, and then split in two for decades after that. Mind you, Berlin looks very "new" compared to other European capitals precisely for this reason.

Before the war, Berlin was a splendid city with countless buildings full of character. At the time, Berlin was one of the largest cities in the world with 4.5 million inhabitants. (Incidentally, this figure has never been matched; currently 3.8 million people live in the city). You probably also walked around the area around Alexanderplatz, the TV tower and the rebuilt palace. At Alex there were some splendid department stores, behind Alexanderplatz station up to the city palace was Berlin's old town with many alleys and squares, everything was destroyed in the war and not rebuilt, instead the communists created this boring, huge square. Or look at old photos of Belle Alliance Platz, a place where people liked to live back then. Today it's still a round square with generic blocks that has become one of the worst crime hotspots in the city. You could say that Berlin was not only totally destroyed in the war, it also lost its soul forever.

@@ruhri0411 The East German government in the years immediately following the War had to face a pretty desperate situation, the Soviets had seized enormous amounts of materials and infrastructure, so they had to rebuild housing and factories with what they had and much of the industry in Berlin had either been destroyed or gone West. Most of the important architecture was to be found in East Berlin. Inevitably as the regime became harder and harder to put up with, many professionals such as engineers, architects, intellectuals and academics managed to get out. As time went by, the regime did try to restore some of the more important architectural buildings in Berlin and of course notably in Dresden, as well. In the centre of Berlin, they even tried to recreate a small area between the Red Town Hall and the River Spree, where you can now find a restaurant - the Nut Tree and a Christmas shop, for example, which look vaguely old and original, but of course they aren't. Since Reunification, a lot of work has been done on all the major monuments, such as the Cathedral, the Museum Island (though I don't like the modern entrance they've added to the Pegamon, it doesn't fit in with the other buildings around it at all).

Ego maniac? They're all ego maniacs. WW1 was started to create the state of Isr@el,and WW2 was created to get the people to go along with a glob@l committee, which is now known as the UN. They tried to o get people to get to go along with a global committee after WW1, which they callled the league of nations, but people weren't going along with it. Fast forward to after WW2, and they changed the name from league of nations to the UN, and people accepted it, because they were tired of war. Two world wars in less than thirty years, and they had enough, and were promised global peace as long as everyone accepted the UN. Global peace, that was a pile of horse sh*t. It was to form their one world govt.

Absolutely gruesome battle: so many casualties. Horrific. Excellent documentary, it really puts things in perspective and shows how soldiers on both sides are destituted of any humanit other than the survival instinct.

The politicians had already decided the outcome, Eisenhower's telegram to Stalin was just confirmation of that. He was obeying orders. The US Military had also lost many men in combat in Europe and the war with the Japanese was far from over. Zhuvkov was also going to be sent out to the Soviet-Chinese border to begin a drive against the Japanese Army there. Nothing could be taken for granted.

Something tells me his Generals didnt fear Hitler's wrath, but instead probably felt sorry for him towards the end of the war.

Yes you are very right, this was in spite of the fact that this had been agreed upon beforehand. But in fact Stalin didn't trust anybody, so when the Nazis invaded Russia, he had to learn to trust his generals. He had previously purged most of the top Soviet Army officer corps to such an extent, that there weren't very many competent army strategists left. Even then, after the War he was very suspicious of them becoming more popular than himself. Zhuvkov was lucky, but of course he was sent away from Moscow, other generals didn't fare so well. Ironically it was Zhuvkov in agreement with others in the CP who enabled the arrest and execution of Beria after Stalin's death. Stalin didn't trust Beria either.

It is interesting to note that military tacticians are trained to recognize the evil of mankind and dismiss kindness.

The Battle of Berlin was Stalingrad on steroids. After seeing first hand the cruel damage and vast destruction by the Fascists, the Red Army was primed and full of retribution and they had earned the right. And Ike knew the Germans were done; why should he risk 2 million + American lives for bragging rights? Besides, Berlin itself was going to be divided into sectors. It made good strategic sense to let Stalin take Berlin, especially when America still had Japan to invade, he thought at that time. And he was right; taking Berlin and her outer-laying suburbs was another meat grinder.

Audio on 1 channel only?

I read in many military history books about the battle for Berlin, with statistics that the Germans had 1,500 tanks before the russians; but this is a fictitious figure because the 3rd panzerarmee of Manteuffel and the 9th army of Busse had 242 and 512 respectively that adds 756; so the remaining 744 were inoperative, and surely due to mechanical failures and lack of spare parts.

On American television mid-afternoon until society went crazy. Children being gunned down on the streets of our American cities, yet historic footage of a man carving up a horse carcass is too much for the sensitive hand flapping anxiety ridden schoolmarms of the modern era.

while German soldiers slaughtered around, where were these German civilians ? yes, they could always excuse themselves of knowing nothing at all ! but, unless all the German civilians were idiots, they should had had noticed that many of those slaughters happened beyond the German territory, why they never asked why our soldiers were fighting abroad ? they deserved what happened after the Soviets came !

I was also reading somewhere that Eisenhower didn’t move on Berlin because he envisioned a lot of friendly fire in the battle if the western Allie’s did partake in the battle of Berlin.

No, the different Allied sectors of Germany and later those in Berlin had already been designated by the political leaders. There was never any question of the Western Allies fighting their way into Berlin. Those American units that did go across Eastern Germany and over the border into Czechoslovakia had to return to their designated zone in Western Germany. In the North of Germany near the Danish border, they had to send in large numbers of British troops to counter the arrival of the Soviets, which wasn't what had been previously agreed. Thankfully, the Soviets backed down and returned eastwards.

Where can i watch all these good documentaries without all the censoring?

Stalin's march to Berlin was like Sherman's to Savannah, making Georgia (and Germany) howl.

Very poor comparison; Sherman did not target civilians, in fact tried not to harm them. but destroyed military factory and area's. of cities supporting them; and took food, livestock etc. from 20-40 miles in his line of March. to win a war , you have to destroy the enemy troops or there supply base. the Soviets did not target civilians as a battle plan, but if they are in the way they were destroyed, Repaid the same or worse treatment the Germans inflicted on Russian families, the German people thought of Russian people as animals, not even human beings in their thinking. The Germans only objective in Russia was to kill people, and take their land and resources.

@sst6555 I guess you're saying that one of the sides of the comparison - or both - didn't then 'howl.' Or weren't a march with a destination then. Because that's all I said and referred to. Otherwise, thanks for your superior knowledge and the information.

man wanted to attack almost the whole world ,but when he is attacked he is running and his generals 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Amazing footage. I have never seen this before

20:01 that date seems wrong. Footage looks more like some time in July, 1944...

The censoring is really pissing me off.

А также французские, норвежские, испанские, польские, австрийские части. А также добровольцы из Бельгии, Голландии, Словакии.

​@@user-qc3um7zj8yThe German army was weak. They had a very small air force that was easily defeated by Britain, they didn't have a navy, and their army was mostly on foot or horse drawn. They lacked a good supply line, and their industrial output was very small compared to the allies and Soviet Union. Germany only produced three thousand tanks per year compared to the Soviet Union's 35,000, or America's 30,000.
