Red Army In Berlin

The Red Army in the Battle for Berlin (April–May 1945) represented the peak of Soviet military power at the end of World War II. Numbering over 2.5 million troops, supported by thousands of tanks, artillery pieces, and aircraft, the Soviet forces under Marshals Zhukov and Konev launched a massive assault to capture the German capital and end the war in Europe. The attacking forces included elite Guards armies, tank corps, and heavy artillery divisions, coordinated in a relentless urban offensive.
