Combat footage. Die Deutsche Wochenschau.
Area of Frankfurt on the Oder: Columns of refugees; Volksgrenadiers; Volkssturm arrive by rail; planes take off; tanks and infantry advance; SS paratroopers at Oder bridgehead; knocked-out Soviet tanks and Soviet dead; Oder village recaptured from Soviets; Reich Labor Service flak against Soviet tanks; rockets.
Waffen SS Paras were some good soldiers. They stopped around a dozen Soviet attempt to take one bridgehead. They were eventually overwhelmed but they made the Soviets earn every inch.

@Nebelwerfer89 They awoke communism starting the war. Instead of attacking Poland and trying to exterminate Polish nation they could beat Stalin together. But they decided to fight the whole world.

You Are Very Naive.
Bolshevism Was What Won World War Two. The Whole Reason The West Dared To Invade Nazi-Occupied Europe Was Because Of Soviet Victories At Stalingrad And Then At Kursk, Forcing The Germans To Direct The Bulk Of Their Forces East, Weakening Their Western Defenses.
Bolshevism Was What Won The Space Race.
Bolshevism Was What Gave EVERYONE Free Housing.
Bolshevism Was What Saved Countless Young Girls From The Western "Free World's" Sex Slave Trade.

Keep in mind that all of these German WWII newsreels were propaganda. It was at this point only a matter of time before everyone closed in on them and finished them off. Like many people have said including Napoleon and Harry S. Truman, history is always written by the winners. Many of the German soldiers weren't fighting for Nazism, they were fighting for their homeland and way of life.

The scenario I've mentioned would have taken more Western lives and manpower and more time - the Allies at Yalta decided to give Stalin their support and have the Russians fight on in the East - the tradeoff was having half of Europe to be under Stalin's thumb, and a Communist Russia getting the atomic bomb and threatening the West for the next fifty to sixty years. Either way though the Germans had to be defeated.
