Description
In late April 1945, the war in Europe seemed to be nearing its end. During the final five days of April, American and Soviet forces would meet, and Adolf Hitler would commit suicide in Berlin. Why are these two events so significant? How did Hitler's death play a critical role in the final days of the Third Reich? Why did the Americans not advance on Berlin in April 1945? Join a ranger to explore how and why these events are pivotal in understanding the conclusion of the war in Europe.
