How Germany Tried to Stop the Soviets in the Last Week of the War

Video Description

In the final days of World War II, Germany mobilized what remained of its military structure in a desperate bid to halt the Soviet onslaught. With outdated maps, broken lines of communication, and divisions that existed only on paper, commanders tried to hold imaginary defensive lines with exhausted men and nonexistent resources. From high command orders arrived: resist, contain, hold every meter as if there were a strategy. As the Red Army closed its encirclement around Berlin with overwhelming force, the German war machine continued on pure inertia — driven by commands issued from bunkers cut off from reality. Every crossroads, forest, and ruined building became a point of resistance that prolonged the inevitable. This is the story of a country’s attempt to stop the unstoppable, and of men caught between duty’s discipline and the total collapse of the Eastern Front.
