During World War II, one of Hitler's biggest dreams was to let the German army receive a military parade in Moscow, the Soviet Union, although Hitler could not realize this wish until the defeat of hitler, but in fact, the German soldiers actually conducted a military parade in Moscow, but in the form of humiliating captivity, it turned out that on July 17, 1944, in order to announce to the world the results of its operation in Bagrardion, the Soviet Union brought nearly 60,000 German troops to hold a huge Moscow prisoner of war parade. In one fell swoop, it washed away the shame of the Soviet Union in the war, and also made the Western world recognize the strength of the Soviet Union.

On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany took the lead in launching operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union, and the Soviet army at the beginning of the war was gradually defeated by factors such as the Great Purge, losing more than 1 million troops in just half a year, once allowing the German army to approach Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad three important cities, but later with its huge war potential and natural factors such as winter, the Soviet Red Army launched a counterattack to thwart the German attempt. And after the United States and other Allies joined the war, the war situation was slowly reversed, when the time came to 1944, the initiative on the battlefield was completely in the hands of the Red Army, and in order to plan the Normandy landing initiated by the Allies on June 6, the Soviet Red Army launched operation Bagration on the Eastern Front, achieved great results, and completely annihilated the elite Army Group Center of the German army.

Because the results obtained were too huge, the Western world almost did not believe the Details of the Soviet Union when the details of the battle were released, believing that the Soviet army was exaggerating the results of the war, so as to seize the limelight of the Western Normandy landings, so it asked the Soviet Union to prove its achievements, and in the face of doubts, Stalin ordered the organization of a large-scale German prisoner of war street parade, that is, operation TsuiDi Spring Dawn, on July 17, 1944, 57,000 German prisoners of war were pulled by the Soviet army from the front line to Moscow, and this street parade officially began.
The Soviet army divided the nearly 60,000 prisoners of war into 90 squares, the formation stretched for more than 3 kilometers, the street route was selected on the outskirts of the Kremlin, and did not intend to let this group of prisoners of war really step into the ground of Red Square, walking in front of the prisoner of war square were the captured 19 German generals, all of whom were wearing their own brand-new uniforms and medals, but they were all dejected and became the focus of the day's parade, while the ordinary soldiers who walked behind them were not so lucky. These ordinary PRISONERS were dressed in dirty and tattered military uniforms that had not been washed since they were captured, and their bodies were covered with lice.
And this operation also attracted the participation of almost all the City's Moscow citizens, thousands of Moscow citizens on the side of the road shouted slogans such as "Hitler is finished" when the captives paraded the streets, spitting at the German prisoners who were close to them, some of the unfortunate prisoners who were on the edge of the queue were even injured by excited women, some of the prisoners had diarrhea due to problems with the food they had eaten the day before, some unfortunate prisoners were pulled on the road before they had their turn to go to the toilet, and were reprimanded by Soviet soldiers for being uncultured, and the Soviet high-level also invited a large number of Western journalists and officials to participate. After seeing so many German prisoners of war, they believed in the results of the Soviet operation Bagration.
After the whole street parade lasted for a full 6 hours, the German prisoners of war were disbanded near the Kremlin, and were pulled by the Soviet army to prisoner of war camps throughout the country, and after the prisoners left, the Soviet Union used a large number of sprinklers to purge the roads walked by the German prisoners, symbolizing the complete washing of the filth and filth left by the Germans to the Soviet Union.
