Eastern FrontCENTRAL SECTORThe 3rd Panzer Army disintegrates, enabling Rokossovsky to plunge into Mecklenberg. Prenzlau falls to the 70th Army and Angermunde to the 49th as the 3rd Panzer flees west. Spandau and Grunewalde are attacked and Potsdam falls as the Russians surge through Berlin. The Soviet armies are keeping up the pace of the attack by rotating their combat troops to ensure fresh troops are in action around the clock. The break-out attempt by the Frankfurt-Guben Group around Halbe comes to an end as the Soviets massacre the ranks of desperate German soldiers. Cohesion collapses as the 9th and 4th Panzer Armies break up. |
