- Battle for Berlin raged from April 16th-May 2nd 1945, between the Remaining Nazi Government in Berlin and the Soviet Red Army, that was looking for revenge on the Third Reich for it's crimes committed in Russia earlier in the war. Reversing the German tactics, the Russians had made it all the way to the gates of the German Capital. However at this point the Germans were fight a multiple conflict, against the Soviets, British, French and Americans who were coming down on the Reich.
Adolf Hitler in an attempt to save Berlin, gave orders to the 12th Army, and it's General Walter Wenck to disengage from the Americans, and strike into the Soviet lines, and relieve Berlin. Wenck however seeing the writing on the wall, said enough.
Instead he went to relieve the Ninth Army, and Civilians who had become surrounded, making a corridor for them to escape from the besieged city. They would evacuate across the Elbe River, where they would then surrender to US Forces.

I saw a video of an old American WWII vet who was on the west side of the Elbe when this even took place. He said the German Artillery was blazing away at the Soviets. All the while, the US soldiers just stood there on the other side and watched and did nothing.
that was the deal between the allied powers
War isn't logic unless you personally want something from it.
Good job, young man! More Sabaton breakdowns!
Thanks. One of my absolute favorites.
You rarely see people reacting to this song, I think that's a shame.
Because it's easily a top 5 song for me when it comes to Sabaton.
Great reaction 👍🤘
Anyway, you got a new subscriber
Nicht eine Schlacht, eine Rettungsaktion - Not perfekt German, which would be "Keine Schlacht, eine Rettungsaktion". The meaning is the same! Not a battle, a rescue mission. I guess this was a bug when the swedish and the german language collided, and in the end no natural speaker checked it. Anyway, a great song
Very minor correction...at around 9:48 you refer to the single shot anti tank weapons as Panzerschreck, but they were actually Panzerfausts...the Schreck was the reloadable German version of the Bazooka, the Faust was the single shot one. It seems like you are very well read on WW2, so I assume you know that, and it was just a slip of the tongue. I also wonder if you are aware of the Sabaton History channel, and I kind of figure you must know about it since you definitely seem to have a good base of knowledge. Have you ever reacted to any Sabaton History videos?
Anyway...good stuff, and it is good to see you further explain other details of the US halt at the Elbe in the comments...I always prefer a channel where the creator actually engages with the comments...so you get a sub from me just for that and talking about history.👍
10:00 eeeeh I gotta. Panzer shreck was a multi use weapon ... this is a panzerfaust
7:30 Soviets were out for vengeance, sure ... but as Indi Neidell put it in his recent video (channel WW2). You had acts of unparalleled kindness mixed with acts of utter brutality during the capture of Berlin. But for german soliders.... yeah there was no love lost there
