April 30, 1945: Soviet soldiers hoisted the Victory Banner over the Reichstag in Berlin

“On April 30, 1945, at 14:25,  fighters of Sergeant Syanova Company broke throught the stairs to the roof and reached the dome of the Reichstag. Brave warriors, Communist Lieutenant Berest, Komsomolets Red Army Egorov and nonpartisan Sergeant Kantariya hoisted the proud flag of the Soviet Union on the German parliament building – the symbol of our great victory against fascism.”

Episode 22: The News Parade: Fighting For Rome/Russia’s Smashing Offensive!

Not an actual film or short, but a newsreel from the Second World War. This one covers events in the Italian Campaign and the Eastern Front with American and British troops in the bloody battle to take Monte Cassino, and as the Red Army launches Operation Bagration to push the Nazis out of Soviet territory.

Once again this film is PUBLIC DOMAIN and not copyright protected in the US at least. You can make and sell your own DVD of it, download it, show it for free or for profit. Or remix it or use it for stock footage

You know there is almost no hope for us when you can’t watch a documentary about the Second World War on youtube without some douche bag standing up for Hitler and starting flame wars with everyone.

Ugh.
