The Battle of Berlin’s Aftermath

There were TOO many lost in these battle, not only because of the army and the guns lost, also because the people affected and all the dead occurred in the battle. That’s the reason why I want to make the article, because I think that what I know more about these, are the consequences. Also because this battle was the last major battle fought on WWII.

The tanks lost by the Soviets exceeded all estimates, due to the effective utilization of the Panzerfaust, which however, was not enough to stop the armored advanced on the capital. The German resistance was finish after the finished all the munitions and troops.

The Soviets informed that 155.000 people dead in Berlin and like 250.000 damage people or sick. In the other hand, kind of 45.000 German people die, including the civil.

One of the caracteristics of the Russian invasion of Germany were the mass rape of women as punishment for the war, despite them not being responsible. In Berlin, 500,000 women were raped of 2.000.000 of total German people sexually assaulted.

In a similar case to the final stages of the war and the Soviet advance, the members of the Nazi Party fled leaving the German civilians to their fate, that they only learned of the approach of the Soviets when the German soldiers retreating from the front giving them the advice of the enemy advance, being that it was too late to flee ( obviously, civilians could not run as fast as soldiers) .

Finally, the last wishes of Hitler ordered that the Admiral Karl Dönitz became President of the Reich, while Joseph Goebbels would be the new Chancellor of Germany. However the last suicide, along with his family, let Dönitz with the responsibility of the war. At last, on May 8, 1945, the German High Command surrendered unconditionally to the Soviet Union ending the war in Europe.
