The “Battle of Berlin” heralded the end of the Second World War in the
European theatre. This major offensive launched by the Soviet Red Army,
after passing the German defensive lines on the Oder River, moved directly
to the capital of the Third Reich. The city itself was defended by
Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, “Hitlerjugend” and “Volkssturm” soldiers, and
was the setting for the final and most fierce clashes of the war. The Soviet
forces, led by Marshal Zukov and Marshal Konev, with an overwhelming
superiority of soldiers, vehicles and artillery, forced the surrender
and capitulation of the city on May 2, 1945. The Reichstag building, seat
of the Reich parliament, had a huge symbolic value and was the stage
for the final acts of the conflict in Europe. The Red Army soldier raising
the Soviet flag on the ruins of the Reichstag at the end of the battle of
Berlin, is one of the most iconic images of the Second World War.
