May 2nd, 1945. 17:00. The guns of Berlin fall silent. The Soviet flag over the Reichstag signals not just the city’s surrender, but the death of the Third Reich.
This episode rewinds the final 24 hours: Hitler’s suicide shocks the world, Goebbels and his family follow in the bunker, and Berlin’s streets erupt in one last desperate fight. At 21:00, General Weidling orders a breakout, only one group escapes Soviet lines. By dawn, he has no choice but to surrender.
From chaos to collapse, the last day of Nazi Berlin unfolds hour by hour — a turning point that reshaped Europe for decades to come.
