In April and May 1945, Soviet forces fought their way through the German capital. The Reichstag was not a military headquarters, but its symbolic value was immense, it represented the heart of the German state. For that reason, it became one of the primary objectives of the Red Army. Fighting around the building was fierce, with German troops entrenched in rubble, barricades and improvised defensive positions.

On 30 April and 1 May 1945, Soviet soldiers reached the building and battled their way inside. The famous moment when the Red Flag was raised over the Reichstag later became one of the most iconic images of the war.
