Nine Songs of Anti-Japanese War

Not even bloodstains.Unlike his brother, he was probably killed by a single blow, and he died very quickly.

A small group of armed Soviet soldiers rushed across the road beside him without even looking at him.

Feeling dizzy, Berlin put down the binoculars and held on to the wall.Potsdam came running out of breath behind him and shouted at him: "Sir, something serious has happened!...Go back to the Chancellery and have a look!"

The Führer and his wife committed suicide, so what else could happen?Unexpectedly, Potsdam's words were not mixed, and it was really a big event: Goebbels, his wife Margetta, and their five daughters and one son fell in their home in the basement.The couple committed suicide by shooting themselves, and the six children were poisoned to death with meth after being injected with sleeping pills. 【Note 5】Someone handed the suicide note left at the scene to Berlin.Berlin read it briefly, and only remembered one sentence: "In the difficult years ahead, setting an example is more important than living..."

The SS men filed in and carried out the bodies of the family of eight.When they were carried to the designated place, they would pour gasoline on the body and cremate it, and then salute to the blazing fire.

Potsdam said softly to Berlin: "The suicide of the Prime Minister and his wife is not too unexpected. But they poisoned all the children, which is really against human ethics...Wait, where are you going?!"

Berlin just looked ahead and walked forward.He was still a little dizzy and his legs were still a little soft, but it didn't matter anymore.When he thinks that he has committed so many crimes in his ignorance and made his people fall into a hell where they would not want to live, he will take bigger steps and walk more resolutely.

Above the ground, gunpowder smoke obscured the sun.There had been blue skies and lovely white clouds before, and old pale green forests rustling not far away, but he couldn't remember what they were like.

Königsberg told him, you have forgotten your ancestors and even lost your basic judgment!

Moscow said to him, You too, my esteemed friend.

Milan said to him, do the fascists think that if they catch me, they can wipe out all the guerrillas in Italy?

Frankfurt told him that there was no hope of breaking the game.

Paris told him that the future you described was never the one I wanted.

Munich said to him, I didn't make it, so... I was terrified...

Vienna... Vienna wrote to him, I cannot advise you, you have never heard of it.But from the day I sent the letter, I will pray for you every day as a sinner.I pray you are saved - for the Lord judges sinners and saves sinners.His sublimity is higher than the heavens, and His glory is higher than the whole earth. In the vast and boundless ocean of His love, our sins are like a speck of dust, which is not worth mentioning.When you wake up and look back, let go of your pride, treat yourself as a lamb that made mistakes, and completely hand it over to him.You will be punished, but you will also find peace in the end...

Above the vortex of all the noisy voices, there was a shy and proud smile on the boy's immature face.He squinted his eyes because of the sunlight and smiled, and the golden light spots on his long eyelashes danced.

I can't do it... Berlin thought, I can't do it.I am not entitled to peace.

What he can do is to go to the front line a few steps away, hide behind the bunkers of dilapidated houses, and make a city's dying struggle as an ordinary soldier.Seeing that he could not be pulled back, Potsdam put on his gun and walked together with him.They reloaded, pulled the triggers and also fired rockets at tanks driving down the street.

The once-solid boundaries gradually melted away.In the eyes of Berlin, there are no enemies or friends, only the attacking side and the defending side.The eardrums were buzzing, and all kinds of sounds were mixed together.After a while, the chirping of the birds and the sound of the IS-2 firing would probably be the same thing to him.

Suddenly, blood spattered on his face.Playing in slow motion like a silent film, Potsdam collapsed beside him.

He only took a step forward, and was surrounded by enemies from both front and back.They arrived in order, and the soldiers who came up first saw someone with a higher rank coming from behind, so they retreated to one side.

Moscow and Tula in Russia, Minsk in Belarus, Krakow and Lublin in Poland.A circle of five Slavs approached, smothering him like a host of malevolent avatars.

"It was courageous not to hide in the bunker," Minsk said. "Sadly, you have no chance." He pointed the muzzle of the black hole at him. "Surrender!"

Berlin didn't take off the gun and magazines as if he was controlling his hands and feet, and threw them on the ground.

The rest of the time was spent in five people staring at him without any kindness.Finally Moscow spat on the ground, stepped forward and grabbed Berlin by the collar, pulling him up and walking back.

"Can you walk?" he asked.

"can."

"That's good, behave yourself, don't try to run around."

"Potsdam he..."

"He will be treated. We will also treat you as a prisoner of war."

"The civilians in the city..."

"You ask too many questions."

After walking a few steps, Moscow probably felt that his arms were sore, so he put down his collar and let him go by himself.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Berlin turned his head and cast a final salute of attention to the little bit of land behind him that was still resisting.A red flag with a sickle, hammer and stars in the upper left corner has been planted on the top of the Capitol and slowly fluttering.He felt that he should do something for the fall of the empire or the fall of the capital, even if he shed a weak tear for a dream that was finally awakened after paying a very painful price.Unfortunately, although he was dizzy and on the verge of collapse, he couldn't squeeze a single tear.

This is May 1945, 5.Before long, all resistance in the city ceased.The next day, the Berlin defense chief surrendered to the Soviets.

On May 5, Germany and the Allies signed an unconditional surrender agreement in Berlin.In the next few days, all German troops still stationed abroad gradually laid down their arms and surrendered.

Comment section

Note 1: The Polish government-in-exile refers specifically to the Polish government in exile in Paris (later permanently stationed in London) after Germany and the Soviet Union invaded Poland in 1939.During World War II, the Polish government-in-exile continued to lead the anti-fascist movement at home and abroad, and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the war. Although the government failed to return to power after 1945, it continued to operate until the upheaval in Eastern Europe in 1990.

Note 2: Hitler's mistress Eva Braun lived in her own small building in Munich and Hitler's villa Berghof in Bavaria for a long time. She rarely appeared in Berlin and was unknown to the public. In April 1945, she returned to Berlin by car and refused to return to the relative safety of the Berghof.

Note 3: The Seven Years' War originated from the competition between Britain, France and Spain in trade and colonies, and the power struggle between Prussia and Austria within and outside the Holy Roman Empire. At the end of 1761, the Austrian army and the Russian army joined forces to cut off the connection between East Prussia and Brandenburg and prepare to attack Berlin. Prussia led by Frederick II was almost in a desperate situation.However, the situation turned around. The following year, the Russian tsarina died, and Peter III, who succeeded him, was an admirer of Frederick. Russia first made peace with Prussia and then defected.In the end, Austria had to make peace with Prussia, and the Germanic countries returned to the pre-war state.

Note 4: The original words come from the movie "The Destruction of the Empire" (well, it is the source of the "Fuhrer's Wrath"...), of course, Goebbels said it under other circumstances in the movie.

Note 5: In the name of vaccination, Mrs. Goebbels asked the doctor to inject six children with morphine to make them fall asleep, and then administered meth to them herself.Regarding the death of the husband and wife, there is another theory that Goebbels shot and killed his wife before committing suicide. However, considering that Mrs. Goebbels was no less loyal to the Nazis than him, the possibility of suicide together seems to be higher.
