In this history short, relive the harrowing final chapter of WWII as the Red Army stormed Berlin in 1945, crushing the heart of the Third Reich in just 12 relentless days. Amid the rubble and ruins, child soldiers were thrown into the fight, the Reichstag became a blood-soaked symbol of resistance, and deep beneath the city, the Hitler bunker became the setting for Hitler’s last days. As Nazi Germany collapsed under the weight of the Soviet invasion, the Battle of Berlin marked not only the violent end of a regime, but a defining saga of sovereignty in the final days of WWII.
