The Last Battle

At 0400 on 16th April 1945, the Soviet Army launched its attack on Berlin, the last stronghold of Hitler's Germany. The Berliners waited in the bombed rubble of their city, caring only to survive in the nightmare world around them. Although the Western Allies had declared that Berlin was no longer a military objective and halted 45 miles from the city, the Russian veterans of Stalingrad swept on.
