After dreadful years in which the Nazi war machine killed over 10 million Soviet soldiers and over 11 million civilians, the Red Army reached the banks of the Oder River, 50 kilometers east of Berlin.
In early April 1945, 1.3 million Soviet Soldiers found a severely weakened Nazi defense, consisting mainly of demoralized and poorly equipped soldiers, old men of the Volkssturm (Home Guard) and young boys of the Hitler Youth. They descended upon Berlin for what Marshall George K. Zhukov called their “final hour of vengeance.”
