    My great grandfather was there, as a cook. When Germans invaded Latvia they made many Latvians join their army, my great grandfather worked at a bakery so they made him a cook in the army, for the soldiers on the front lines. He followed the army all the way to the Battle of Moscow, and was pushed back all the way to Battle of Berlin.
    When the Germans surrendered he would have faced the gulag or execution as Latvia was under Soviet occupation, however when Russia had previously invaded Latvia a year before the Germans, they gave Latvians soviet passports. My great grandfather had hidden his soviet passport sown into his trousers for the whole war, so at this point when he was arrested he got his passport out and claimed to be a soviet citizen who had been captured by the Germans, and they let him go, so he managed to walk back to Latvia a free man.

      Totally agree. My grandmother was born in 1937 and she remembers how her father went to the front, how he sent the last letter home: "I'm going into battle on crutches, don't wait at home." He died near Feodosia in Crimea in 1942. Also she remembers the terrible battle near her village (Tsimlyansk) and bombing. An aerial bomb fell not far from her and exploded, she was saved by the house. And especially she remembered the occupation. When I listened to her I couldn't believe that it was all happening.

    My great Grandfather faught in the Wehrmacht. He started since 1941 but he doesn't like talking about Berlin and the other cities he went to years before. But he told me a story on his time on Berlin before German surrender. He was hiding up in a building after being separated by two blocks at least. He could see his "Friends." Down of to the block but the Russians already stormed the street. (This was all at night of course.) He knew they would searching buildings for people and all that's why he tossed a grenade on the 4th floor staircase so the Russians wouldn't get him. All he had with him was his gun (MP40) and his knife. (At least that's what he told me.) Anyways, he spent half the night hiding in a room getting sleep, and the other half, looking out the window. This all happened for a few days too. He was simply to afraid to leave his room.
    Edit (October 8th 2022): He also fought in the west before being shipped east (again). My family has a lot of people in this war, both close related and distant. We had Italian partisans in 1943 who once fight allies. My great cousin was in the US Navy I think as well. Most of my American side family where mostly field hospital people. (English is bad.) My great grandmother had a half sister who was a nurse in Finland durring the winter war of 39. And I know we had family that fought in the Soviet union in the later part of the war but I can't recall their roles.
    But my great grandfather is still proud of his history. He always tells me that you can't let others ruin what things mean to you. But I know deep down he feels a bit bad for Germany's role as an aggressor. To this day, he still hangs out with someone from the armi. I think they still shoot guns too. He's old, but being 102 doesn't stop him from having a hobby !

      I know from my uncle (a soldier 17 years old) that in the past few days the German soldiers in Berlin have only fought not to be caught by the Russians and brought to Siberia. It was a fight for their own lives and no longer for stupid Nazis from which they were abused and betrayed. He said in this last days of war it was no longer a fight Wehrmacht against Red Army, It was a fight that everyone alone or in little groups had to fight against the Red Army to survive. My uncle and 3 other comrades pulled himself in 2 weeks out of Berlin through the subway tunnels and canals and flee at nights through Russian-occupied territory to river Elbe. He swam to the western side and surrender himself to the British and was after 6 weeks POW camp dismiss and was at home near Kiel. Many of his comrades were caught by the Russians and didn't come home until 5 years later, but most came never back. 80 percent of his old comrades died or murdered in Siberian gulags.

      @Lord Farquaad You are really stupid. 80% of all Axis troops were located on the eastern front, their elite were there, and as a result of the war we lost even less than the Axis. And the United States, with an adversary who could no longer defend normally in the west, because all the troops were in the east, managed to lose 500 thousand soldiers.
      The USSR in 2 months in Japan has done more than the USA in 4 years.
      The United States and the next 50 years subjected hundreds of thousands of its soldiers as a result of nuclear tests, I hope you do not need to talk about this.

How did the mother feel who sent 11 sons to the front and received one funeral after another? How did the hero Matrosov feel when he rushed at an enemy machine gun to cover it with his body? How did the defenseless girl Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya feel when the Germans tortured her and hung her for everyone to see? How did my great-grandfather feel when he crawled out from under fire with his machine gun with a shot in his leg?

    If you asked how I felt about it.
    It must have been frightening to have to fight an impossible battle, knowing that you are just fighting to survive at that time, you could be brave and try to hold your own, you could try to hide, dessert or be fanatical about your hopeless ideals, some wanted nothing more than revenge for their lost family, homes, comrades, other's believed in the false ideals of a Nazi Germany, many were scared and confused, the worst was being a civilian caught up in the action during the red armies march into Germany especially if you was female. History is most definitely written by the victor's but it's also covered in a dark veil of secrets and atrocities, I suppose in that regard you could argue that the Germans deserved it for their atrocities, but not every German was a monster, on the other hand, not every Russian was a monster either, In war there are no winners or losers, no heroes or villains, only the old and bitter as well as the young and stupid, it doesn't determine who's right or wrong, only who survived & who's left, war is hell and you'd be thankful that we don't have to face such troubling time's, it hurts many and the tragic memories never heal quickly.
    Don't take for granted what other's have sacrificed both Allie's and Axis. Not everyone was good obviously but not every one was bad on both sides.
    They fought so other's could live.

      The Germans fought to the end because they knew that they would probably die in Russian captivity if they surrendered, also partly because some still believed in the Nazi ideals, but many knew the war was lost but kept fighting because fear of Russian capture drove them on. They would rather go down fighting or surrender to the Americans and British.
