Fall of Berlin

How the Allies' brutal and bloody offensive brought an end to the war in Europe. With his plans crumbling around him in March 1945, Hitler now faced inevitable defeat. The combined might of the Allied forces stood on the banks of the Rhine and set their sights on the German capital of Berlin. Meanwhile, on the Eastern Front, the Russians and Germans fought in some of the bloodiest battles of the entire war. The last few months of fighting cost tens of thousands of people their lives, and changed the course of world history as the Führer’s terrible schemes finally came to dust.
