Welcome to the old film time of the book, today for all readers and friends to share this group of photos, is from the end of the Battle of Berlin in World War II colored old photos. Through this set of old photographs, we can look at the tragic scene at the time of the fall of Nazi Germany. On 29 April 1945, the Battle of Berlin came to an end, and the Germans lost control of the central part of Berlin under the strong soviet attack. On the night of this day, Hitler and his fiancée Eva had a simple wedding, and the next day they both committed suicide, at a time when the Soviet army was only 500 meters away from the German Chancellery.
When the Reich Chancellery was breached, more than 200 of Nazi Germany's top military and political leaders committed suicide, after which the new German government began begging the Soviet army for negotiations and surrender. During the 16 days and nights of the Battle of Berlin, the Soviets annihilated and captured more than 400,000 Germans.
After Berlin announced its surrender, German troops abroad began to surrender one after another, and the European theater of World War II came to an end. During the fierce Battle of Berlin, both the Soviet Union and Germany suffered heavy casualties, and Berlin, as the main battlefield, was destroyed in a large area after the war.
According to post-war statistics, under the bombardment of tens of thousands of shells by the Soviet army, three-quarters of the buildings in the berlin city were destroyed, and the entire city became a ruin at the end of the war. Next, let's take a look at the tragic situation in Berlin at the end of the war from this one photo.
