Battle for Berlin was hell for the Russians, its kind a bad luck to survive the whole war or the half and to die in Berlin ot the final battle.
Maybe Stalin did some terrible mistakes with this desire to prevent the allies from taking Berlin to push the army for taking The Raichstag faster.Many Russians died for taking the 'Himlers house' (as the Russians called the Raichstag) it wasn't so nessasery to take it.And the tanks, they were moving target it was easy to destroy any tank.(notice the video when one german shot with panzerfaust just with one hand?)
Really hard battle..

Really cool to see how things changed so much.

War is hell, but war is also mystery and terror and. In truth war is also beauty. You stare out at tracer rounds unwinding through the dark.The fluid symmetries of troops on the move. The sheets of metal-fire down from a gunship, the illumination rounds, It's astonishing. You hate it,yes, but your eyes do not. Any battle or bombing raid has absolute moral indifference- a powerful beauty. and a true war story will tell the truth about this, though the truth is ugly
