On April 30th, 1945, the Soviet Red Army broke through the Berlin defence parameter after a hard fought battle and the Red Banner of Victory was hoisted over the Hitler’s Reichstag in Berlin! Only a few days remained before the complete surrender of Nazi Germany! Tens of thousands of Soviet Red Army soldiers were killed – whilst thousands of others carried the Red Flag! Special Red Army groups were responsible for ‘filming’ the battle on Soviet Hand-held (wind-up) cine-cameras! Many of these groups were wiped-out – but their cameras were later recovered and their precious film was safely retrieved for history! Above is one such example – filmed as the Soviet Red Army advances under fire toward the German Reichstag!
