Line Of Fire | The Battle for Berlin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лис 2023
- This is the story of the final, tragic phase of World War Two.
By the early months of 1945, Hitler had lost all grip on the military realities which faced Germany. The Allied Strategic Bombing Offensive had reduced much of Berlin to rubble and by April 25th the Red Army had completely surrounded the city, trapping 500,000 German troops in the western suburbs. These shattered streets became the scenes of bitter hand-to-hand fighting between eight Russian Armies and the pathetic remains of the Home Guard, SS Werhmacht and the Hitler Youth.
On April 30, the Reichstag was stormed and the Fuhrer committed suicide. The city and its population lay at the mercy of the Russians, who exacted a terrible revenge.

So many crazy stories during the war. If you spent a 1000 years you still couldn't listen to them all. Each individual involved has many stories. Most of them brutal. Awful times ppl lived through but its a pleasure to learn about what happened.
Yes, every time I think I’ve seen WW2 from every aspect or angle here comes something new to me!
@@JurassicEntMuzik 100%
IN NORWAY THE GERMANS STILL HAD 300,000 SOLDIERS STATIONED IN NORWAY, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR THE BATTLE OF BERLIN.
@@ok-pj4eu see another fact I did not know
Last battle of WW2 ??? Did somebody forget about Japan !
Excellent documentary. Thank you !
The last battle of World War II in Europe was drawing to a terrifying conclusion.
There. Fixed it for you.
Thanks, the last major battle of WWII was the battle of Okinawa.
@@paulloya5 yep. Sure was.
Another great show. I love the maps and the graphics. Thanks!
My German grandmother told me that she believed in "Final Victory" until the end, when US troops took her town on March 26th, 1945...
the utter craziness and waste of war great documentary thank you
Thank you for an excellent documentary. Students studying history will benefit enormously, England, January, 2024.
This documentary is very well done, I live in Berlin and I am passionate about this battle, whose signs can still be seen today if you know how and where to look, some buildings still have bullet holes. The best I have seen so far on this argument, well done guys.
Well told from all perspectives.
I was impressed by Wencke when given the order to rescue Hitler he ignored it to save the 9th Army and civilians
Those flak towers were so big that the allies tried to destroy them point blank after the war and couldn’t. So, they buried them, but you can still see the back of them if you went there to see them and can even still go inside them. You’d probably need special permission, I’d assume.
It was the Courland Pocket, not bridgehead - they were trapped there !
The battle of berlin was fought on the oder. Berlin itself was a large scale mopping up operation.
Claiming the Soviet forces/troops were civil is a stretch beyond b.s..
The last battle of WW2 was not Berlin. There was a furious war in the Pacific that was still going on even as the Nazis surrendered.
The pacific theater was peanuts compared to the real battles in Europe
@@BlueCollaredGrit I sort of get what you are saying. The last battle took place in Okinawa and from what I have read it was brutal.
Quality needs to be greatly improved.
The announcer mentioned about the deranged mind of hitler , and I firmly agree with him. The problem with the deranged mind of hitler is that he caused the death 💀 of many, many innocent people and animals who had absolutely no control whatsoever about their own lives and deaths 😢
judea declared war first..
USA lost
Honestly you can not say the Russia's are doing so good. As Germany was fighting all over the world. Russia had one front one effort all there sources one front as Germany was all over the place. One on one the out come would have been much different
It's unbelievable, but Germany was in the same position when they got to Russia capital but Hitler stopped it
Oh In the summer of '41 right?
In every country of war were barbaric ppl. Not just Russia, Germany, Japan, .....
Why does Herr Oerlich's voice say "Soviet" but the translation says " Russian?"
These are last moments in Berlin where the Red Army first entered and Hitler lost the war and took his own life.
Losing any war is bad.
Losing a war your country started with the Russians really sucks.
Sorry, sound is so soft and no subtitles, so I have to move on.
Don't criticize the volkstrum, remember Winston Churchills speech about fighting on the beaches. He had the same idea of mobilizing the civilian population to fight a German invasion long enough to buy the time needed for the aristocrats to flee safely to Canada.
It’s a relatively new production but they still got a bunch of facts wrong lol
Tell us the missing facts.
It's from 2000
Did I miss something or are they not using the Nazi flag on maps. Wtf
'All hope of victory long gone'? Try telling Goebbels that!
There is an awful lot of plausible information that says A.H. fled Berlin and ended up in Argentina.
I just can't believe that
There is more information saying he shot himself in the bunker
Did you hear this band talk about Ukrainian know what is going on with Ukraine and Russia see your people don’t know your history that’s your problem go back learn your history and see why things are happening now
Latvians werent ideologically something. Latvians fought for their own country for free Latvia! FrOM Soviet scourge . Never liked soviets/russians in LATVIA
How much did the US contribute to the communist Soviets in arms and currency and just general support and encouragement?
The Germans were fortunate that the Russians were not as bloodthirsty as the Nazis.
Why the dog? Maniac.
To first try if the venom is effective. He loved more animals than people.
So weird watching this one of the male historians is now a chick
Yes her name is Lynnette!!
The last battle of ww2 so what did the fighting with Japan not happen and is that not part of ww2.
Look at Western Allied atrocities and war crimes before commenting further, hypocrite
We should listen to Patton got the Germans the British Americans say when the Russia we were there in 1917 after World War I and now you see the problems with Russia always remember your history people always remember your history we could’ve done it then
