      My neighbor has this very picture on her front door, just next to mine. Damn, I am so happy I am getting back to my country in 3 months. Ok, they won with Nazi Germany, but this is more than just the symbol to be stuck just next to my door. Thanks, but no.

      But I thought Americans saved the world from Hitler?!? It’s almost like they’ve been lying to us for a century

      Ask anyone in Eastern Europe who they would have preferred to live under for 50 years.

      Just a tragedy that we didn’t conquer Soviet-Russia while we had the momentum, before they got hold of the nukes.

      So much evil and suffering could have been avoided

      Was it a good thing though?? Nazis are bad and should feel bad, but when you think of the aftermath in Germany and Eastern Europe since the war most inhabitants would probably have been happier waiting for rescue from the West. Not even mentioning the current conflicts. What a shit show the Soviets have left behind. The former east germany is still lagging behind the west.

      The only thing Russia has ever been good at is suffering and shipping millions of their own people to die in a meat grinder like they are worth nothing at all. It’s not a skill. Any authoritarian regime can do that.

      And after that they colonized all of the central europe and eastern europe…

      fun fact – the soldier on the bottom has a watch visible on each hand, its likely that this is because he robbed (and possibly shot) some civilian for it.

      Fun fact:

      > The 89th Rifle Division, a predominantly Armenian division of the Red Army during WW2, was one of the first to reach Berlin.

      > Unit leader Hakobian later wrote that ‘many Armenians expressed a particular eagerness to take part in Berlin’s capture due to Germany’s role as an Ottoman ally during the 1915 genocide’.

      Don’t bother y’all, it’s 1 good in a million bad things the ruskis did in their history.

      I have no shame to admit and if you disagree, you’re either a ruski lover or you’re not from Eastern Europe and know nothing about their constant oppression.

      I guess it’s a perfect time to replay “Heart of the Reich”.

      Ironically, the Nazis hated the Reichstag, as a symbol of German democracy. To raise the flag on the Reichskanzlei would have been more appropriate as a symbol defeating Nazi Germany.

    15. The Soviets should have left all they had occupied after the end of WW2.

      I’ll interrupt the clusterfuck that is this comment section and just try to imagine what a joy it would’ve been for people all over the world to read the headline: “Adolf Hitler is Dead”.

      Is this probably the most iconic military photo of all time?

      As a Norwegian i want to thank both Soviets and Americans for letting us be a free country after this, when they easily could have taken over. I also want to thank France because they get a lot of shit, but the truth is that they never gave up and at the end they had over a million troops and many of them fighting in Germany.

      Reichstag, what a cool sounding name. It sounds like it should be a washer/dryer combo.

      *”April 30th, 1945: When he first spoke of Dimitri, Reznov told tales of a hero, someone we should all aspire to be like. At times, I have seen him show mercy, and at others, complete brutality. I do not understand him. Perhaps heroes need not question their actions.”*

      A photo of one genocidal authoritarian regime replacing another. 

      East Berlin would not be free of Genocidal mass murdering authoritarian pieces of shit until the total collapse of the Soviets in 1991.
