Europe was the scene of many wars, all of which killed hundreds and reduced land to ashes. World War II certainly proved to be one of the tragedies of the twentieth century, and Germany's capital Berlin became the source of Europe's destruction.

It is by the end of April that civilians became conscious that their fate will be in the hands of the Red Army and that their will be no miracle weapons nor surrender to the U.S. [...]
