This Day in the History of Soviet-American Relationships
On this day in 1945, U.S. and Soviet forces linked up on the Elbe River, a meeting which dramatized the collapse of Nazi Germany's defenses. It was probably the high water mark for Soviet-American relationships which nearly immediately devolved into the Cold War which thankfully ended in the Soviet's defeat 17 years ago.
