In the initial assaults, the Soviets captured highly symbolic buildings such as the Ministry of the Interior and, after fierce fighting against the Nazis, managed to seize the Gestapo headquarters. The battles at the gates of the Reichstag were now underway. On Stalin’s orders, Soviet soldiers carried red flags en masse as a symbol of the victory of communism over Nazism; one of these flags would fly atop the Reichstag and reign supreme in Berlin for days afterward. In a monumental sacrifice, the Soviet Union would ultimately defeat Hitler, losing over 27 million lives while liberating Europe, advancing to Berlin, and putting an end to Hitler’s genocidal regime. Just one statistic that shows who truly defeated the Nazis: three out of every four Nazi soldiers killed in World War II died at the hands of the Red Army.
