"The fights in Berlin also developed uccessfully, - Marshal Zhukov wrote in his memoirs. - The Germans used all the advantages that fighting in the city gave them. The multi-storey buildings, massive walls and especially the air-raid shelters, casemates, interconnected underground passages, played an important role. In these ways, the Germans were able to go from one quarter to another, and even appear in the rear of our troops. Our troops suffered heavy losses, but, inspired by success, rushed forward - to the very center of Berlin, where there still was important enemy command headed by Hitler. "There were calles of Goebbels written by white paint on the houses:" All Germans will defend their capital, "" Stop the red at the walls of our Berlin "- wrote Roman Karmen in" Izvestia ". - Try to stop! Steel bunkers, barricades, mines, debris and bombers with faustpatrona - all were swept away by the avalanche of our troops. " April 25, Hitler said to the commander of the Berlin garrison General Weidling: "The situation should improve. The 9th Army will come to Berlin and strike the enemy with the 12th Army. The strike will follow the southern Russian front. From the north Steiner troops will approach and strike on the north wing. " "All these plans were Hitler's fantasy and his entourage, who has lost the ability to think really," - says Zhukov.

"The meeting of the two armies took place on the east bank of the Elbe, near Torgau, - the correspondent of "Pravda" writes "- From the boat, moored to our shore, the commander of the American division went with a large group of staff officers. He went to the location of our headquarters. Banner-bearers were carrying ahead the national flags of the three United Nations. The Soviet division commander went out to the river towards the Americans."

A little more - and troops will break through the enemy defenses. And we already begin to think how to break the enemy defense line on the Randov river, without complex rearrangements. But almost dawn broke, the Germans again launched a counterattack along the entire front of our strike force. The enemy was too late.
