Data di messa in onda: Mag 04, 2015

While the allied troops were confronted to the death camp horrors, the Russian soldiers were engaged in a merciless fight at the gates of Berlin. Just in this battle, the Russians lost up to 15,000 men per day! The Nazi commanders, enraged, kept throwing crowds of armed civilians on the streets - including many adolescents and old men - and continued to proclaim that victory was close! While the Russians successfully took over the Reichstag on April 30, 1945, Hitler committed suicide in his bunker. On May 7 and 8, 1945, Germany's surrender was signed both in Reims, France and in Berlin.
