The Germans at the battle of Berlin were a mixed bag. Some were highly trained and battle hardened veterans of various fronts of WWII to old men and young boys. The RKKA was made up for the most part of seasoned veterans of years of war. In accord with Soviet doctrine the Red Army relied on the huge amount of firepower of their tanks and artillery not to mention massive numbers of infantry to finally crush the German defenses in eastern Germany. The Germans fought well but they could not win.

At 4:06 or so is when Stalin reminds me of Hitler a little bit. Isn't that weird?

The Allied commanders, with the blessing of Truman, had intentionally decided to let the Soviets be the first in Berlin. "Let the Soviets do the 'spate work' and mangle their way into heavily defended Berlin," Ike had Suggested to Truman. It may sound cynical, but it was a smart move to conserve lives. Why risk more lives storming into a hornet's nest when the Soviets are prepared to do it? It was practical reality in April 1945.

This movie is not worth watching.

@randy109 Although there is sense in the last sentence of your comment, I would like to kindly ask you to refrain from the use of words such as "allowed". I think if you have read on the topic you would know, that at the time it was Stalin's word that mattered and both, Roosevelt and Churchill had no choice but to obey. Read Montgomery's book on Stalin.

@thedicklick1 The only British historian worth reading is Basil Liddell Hart. Everything else is distorted illusions through the eye of the "allies".

This is the most interesting battle for me, it was entirely a revenge plot. Anyways anyone interested in this battle should read "The fall of Berlin 1945" by Antony Beevor

you wont be dissapointed
