Berlin in May 1945. World War II is over in Europe. The soviet army has conquered Berlin, a city reduced to rubble, and now under martial law. Soldiers from the U.S., Great Britain, and France will move in a few months later. Broken tanks and make shift barricades litter the streets, tenements and churches have been reduced to bombed out shells. German soldiers are hauled off to POW camps in Siberia, while women are trading clothing for survival, and children are left to their own devices. The victors, Russian soldiers, look as exhausted as the defeated Germans. These rare pictures were taken by photographers of the Red Army after the surrender. They are published here for the first time in the United States, allowing a glimpse into an era of destruction and deperation, but also of survival and rebuilding. Ref GGG 1.…
