In the final hours the headquarters staff was epileptic regarding the pending Soviet assault. To the dismay of the staff the young major said "there one good thing about all this. Soon we will be able to take the street car from the Eastern Front to the Western Front".

Uuuuh, yes, the German Flak was used as anti infantry, and even anti tank/ anti vehicle extensively during the whole war, it was one of the most feared weapons to run into when attacking because it's ammunition fuses could be set to explode mid air at whatever distance, so the shells could be fired at infantry, just above the ground and they would explode mid air, turning anyone in the vicinity into mincemeat. Towards the first half of the war they were used successfully as anti-armour as well, until the allies got wise and thickened their armour.

I walked this in chronological order. What blew my mind was this area is actually quite small in real life and how it took the Soviets days to get from the Moltkebrucke bridge to the Reichstag building, it looks just a few hundred metres in length and now takes seconds to walk the Soviets advance from the bridge.

@@d.olivergutierrez8690 honestly I’d be happy to watch a video of him explaining how grass grows. The reason I’d like a video on Samar is that Drachinifel did an awesome video on it but I’d like to actually see the ships maneuvering and hear his commentary on it.

Never heard this story before. Happy to have heard it.

Thank you! Glad to see the details of the battle that my grandpa was a part and got his "For the capture of Berlin" medal.

Man, your videos are the best, well done

Have you ever considered doing medieval battles? Great work! This is an awesome way to show history.

What a waste of lives on both sides..to conquer a piece of rubble...

It was probably beautiful and wasn't very old having been opened in 1894, still in it's prime when burned and at this hosting of room to room fighting 👩‍🔧🇺🇲🛠️🇷🇺

@@sickre I don't think it was the "elites" forcing people to fight in 1945...there were plenty of opportunities to defect or avoid frontline duty by then. Those who fought in Berlin were all there because they wanted to fight.

Great video! Mark Felton has some great historical information as well!

Extremely well made! Well done

Call of Duty 1 and Call of Duty: World at War for PC did a great job recreating this battle.

Very nice, lets see Paul Alan's battle plans.

This was brilliant. Subbed. Bravo 👏🏻

This is, by far, one of the coolest World War Two videos I've ever viewed.

Great video! First I've ever seen a breakdown of what actually happened. Normally they just say soviets won and raised their banner. An awful lot of death for a symbol.

Have you considered selling T-shirts with The Operations Room logo...like from teespring or zazzle? Regardless, keep up the amazing work at your own pace! Everything you do is worth the wait.

Bravo man, keep the videos coming!

I love this! It is putting all those memories of playing this battle in Close Combat III, into fuller perspective.

Quick facts about Battle for Berlin: Battle for Berlin was a part of Berlin strategic offensive, conducted from 16 April to 2nd May 1945. Forces for entire strategic offensive: Red army + polish forces of Armija Ljudova - 2.35 mil men Wehrmacht + volksturm ~835 000 - 900 000 In battle of Berlin directly participated: Red army + polish units - 464 000+ Wehrmacht, SS, Volksturm - 100 000 -200 000 Casualties suffered, non-recoverable for entire strategic operation from 16 April to 8th May Red army and polish units - 84 000+ KIA Wehrmacht, SS, volksturm - from 100 000 to 400 000 (highest estimate) KIA, around 380 000 POWs. Correct number of casualties for Germans is impossible to count for several reasons: 1) no statistic documents for losses of volksturm, police, SS volunteers, other hastily formed civilian militia units 2) most of the unit journals and documents were destroyed, captured by the Soviets 3) in overall chaos casualty list were not kept Biggest loss of life for the Soviets during strategic offensive - Battle of Seelow heights, between 20 000-27 000 KIA Biggest loss of life for the Germans during strategic offensive - Halbe pocket or “Halbe massacre” - around 90 000 KIA + POW

"The large columns beside the point of the soviet entrance became covered in blood" Damn, imagine that you have survived going through deadly mini fortress outside the Reichstag but then you saw a pile of bodies laying on the ground covered in blood beside an entrance which you should pass through it to prevent the embarrassment of your leadership. For all World War 2 soldiers that have sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today, thank you for your services sir!

Fantastic video as always. One question, how do you research for your videos? Do you publish the resources you use on Patreon?

whoa, that was cool on 0:07 at this timestamp there was A fighter jet screaming by my house at the same time LoL. Very Great Video

this was the longest wind-up for a punchline I've ever sat through

The battle of Stalingrad would be good. Prolly takes a year for you to put together though

@@r-saint TIK is a legend. He will release 9 hour long videos on just one battle. Like what kind of person has that much dedication to a youtube history channel? Not to mention he covers controversial stuff and really has to try super hard to not get demonetized. Imagine combing through a script like that for any algorithm killing language or demonetization red flags.

Love all your videos! But when will we see Black Hawk Down Part 2? 😭

Amazing video! May I ask when black hawk down part 2 is coming?

Please don't stop making these videos.

"Steiner's assault will take care of it." "My Fuhrer...Steiner..." Famous last words said before disaster

Can't wait for The Moge 2nd video. Hopefully it is up next!

Watching a number of these battles and it really puts things into perspective for the unimaginable carnage that must have taken place.

10:19 : "... and Hitlers personal troops, the Liebes Standard ...", pronounciation so bad it gives that unit a whole new meaning lol

Great stuff, as usual. I'd love to hear more about that sole British tank unit. I'm sure there's a great story to be told about that one and how they were the only ones to make it there.

It wasn’t a British tank unit, it was a British-made tank with a Soviet crew. The UK and USA both provided tanks, aircraft, etc. to the USSR.
