After killing and maiming around 41 million Soviet men, women and children in the USSR, and despite the advancing Red Army losing one hundred thousand troops a week – a score had to be settled whilst the Western Allies held their forces back in the West to await developments. Hitler’s fanatical troops had to be ground-down almost street by street! Indeed, it is said by British historian – Hugh Trevor-Roper – that it was a Soviet Army Medical Unit comprised of ‘armed’ female Soviet Nurses that first made their way into the Reich Chancellery Garden. These brave women had to defend themselves from Snipers and Nazi German troops – whilst tasked with searching-out and treating any men, women or children they found – regardless of ethnicity. Proof of this lies in the fact that these women advanced ahead of the Soviet Red Army.
