The Soviets didn't cremate Hitler, the Germans did in order to stop his body being paraded (as with Mussolini). The Soviets allegedly captured his cremated remains, though.
The Soviets didn't know Hitler was in the bunker, they thought he was in the Bergers Garden (?) retreat, or so I read. Stalin didn't confirm his death until years later, well, just because he was Stalin.
Berlin was originally built on marshland. We have lots of lakes and rivers near the city. I believe the word "Berlin" is derived from a Sorbian or Slavic word meaning "marsh".
Hitler could have never completed his new capital "Germania's" grand dome. The weight would have made it sink into the soggy ground. They tested the stability of the soil by having 4 (if I remember correctly) concrete blocks rest on the Berlin soil and see what would happen. At least two are still visible and sinking away today. It's not an ideal place to build huge monumental structures 😅
I think it was the destruction of everything surrounding his late 'Arch Enemy' that affected Churchill. After all he had spent six years so grimly focused on defeating Hitler and saving Britain. As the Underdog Nation, the battle against such overwhelming odds would have strained Churchill's every sinew and mentally cost him dear. It would have been a shock, a vicious anti climax, to finally come face to face with such a complete 'absence' of his Foe. In those moments he might even have felt that Hitler had become a 'Will o' the Wisp'. Added to that, as a Nobel Prize winning Writer and Historian, Churchill would have found the ruin of so many papers and artifacts a great blow. Great reaction Connor - Love from the UK
I think you need to understand two things the Soviet approach was down to three things. One was in response to the brutal way in which Germany had behaved towards them, both Soviet civilians and troops. But it was also part of their culture. The Soviets treated their prisoners no better than the Germans treated Soviet prisoners, that wasn't targeted particularly at Germans, it was pretty much how they behaved as we have seen from Ukraine, they haven't changed. Finally it was a deliberate strategy, Stalin was already thinking ahead of extending the soviet empire., Churchill knew it, but Roosevelt was a dying man clinging to the idea that Uncle Joe could be trusted. His priority was isolating Churchill in those talks, he had always resented him. The Soviets were pleasantly suprised by the animosity between their Western allies, and used it.
There's nothing glorious about war, and the end of war is often an anticlimax. My father was in the British Royal Air Force, leading Aircraftman, looking after the stores, marching through Germany in 1945, he saw the liberation of Belsen-Buchanwald by the Americans and was shocked by the condition of the former inmates. His commanding officer said they would soon be marching down the Unter den Linden, a famous avenue in Berlin, but they never did, because the Russians got there first. So they spent a few months renovating a destroyed aerodrome at a village outside Berlin.
I would love to see you react to a film called 'Look who's back' it's a German comedy from 2014 about Hitler waking up in modern-day Berlin outside where the Furherbunker used to be. It's really good. It's on TH-cam in its entirety, so there's no probs with copyright.
I think the story is that his aids burned his body to stop the Soviets getting it, or that it was accidentally burned in the attack, not that Soviet soldiers burned it deliberately.
The ONLY reason the soviets got there first was because of all the equipment vehicles and ammo the Brits and yanks shipped to them non stop in the war (!)
I used to teach computing to a member of the Arctic Convoy. Only had 2.5 fingers on one hand due to frostbite. He hated the Russians, lots of stories about how scummy they were. R.I.P. George, rest well. One love from Scotland. 💙
A body has been provided to the Soviet’s but it was dismissed as a hoax as the failed Austrian artist would never wear non cotton socks, the cadaver was wearing socks made of down 🧦 and had signs of embalmment.
It is a credit to the British population that they voted him out- he was a great war leader but was no friend to the common British people. We were reacy for a change and voted in a Labour government the Welfare state and a new beginning
Yes, they got on hand and knees begging the dockers to bow the cranes along the thames for his funeral. The unions hated him and then Maggie came along. Bless you.

Or DID they? 😂😂😂
Correct
wait what
@McJibbin his aides burned his body with fuel in the courtyard of the bunker so the soviets couldn't desecrate his corpse
I thought it was the Soviets because they didn't want him to have a grave, so he wouldn't be immortalised like Napoleon or Julius Caesar?

Very well said.

Thanks for that. Interesting.

He asked for him and Eva's body to be burnt because he was what happened to Stalin's body, he was to gain for that.His own soldiers burnt them both.

Yep. The 'Red Army' were mostly useless. Old antiquated tech. Like today.

Soviets also wanted to be first and they just agreed
I always thought Hitler got away or was assisted to escape.
I love listening to you talk but I am going to go to sleep now goodnight

Stalin joke was good, in a bad way!
He killed millions more than Hitler ever killed.
Check out the movie downfall
all the military hardware supplied by the USA and the UK for Russia.
Yep the UK helped build the Nazi war machine. Most probably up for defeat as well as victory.
A sex toy? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
xl the vid og your vid
One must remember the persecution of minority people within the Soviet Empire which still resonates today. Look how it prosecutes the Ukraine War.
