This Day in the History of Final Days
On this day in 1945, the Red Army began the Battle of Berlin. The photo shows how it ended.
There is a museum on the top of the Reichstag now with another photo of its capture. In it all of the Soviet soldiers carry full auto weapons, PPS-43s and PPSh-41s, but they all also carry German handguns. Not a ringing endorsement of the Tokarov TT-30 in my book.
