Скачать или смотреть The Moment Stalin Was Told Soviet Troops Were Inside Berlin

On May 2nd, 1945, Berlin fell. But in the Kremlin, Joseph Stalin’s first question wasn’t about victory—it was: “Have you found Hitler’s body?”

This documentary-style video dives into how Stalin actually reacted as the Red Army fought its way into Berlin, raised the Soviet flag over the Reichstag, and forced the German garrison to surrender. Far from the simple image of a triumphant dictator, we see a cautious, suspicious, calculating leader who could not celebrate even total victory without demanding proof, control, and leverage for the next struggle.

Through a narrative built from memoirs, reports, and postwar testimony, we follow:

The first Soviet entry into Berlin and Stalin’s cool, tactical questions to Zhukov and Konev
The engineered rivalry between Soviet fronts racing for the city
Stalin’s obsession with verifying Hitler’s fate and fear of a separate peace with the West
The brutal assault on the Reichstag and the raising of the Victory Banner under Stalin’s personal deadline
The fall of Berlin and Weidling’s surrender—met by Stalin’s grim remark, “So, that’s the end of the bastard”
The NKVD’s hunt for Hitler’s remains and Stalin’s refusal to confirm his death to the Allies
The second surrender ceremony in Berlin, Stalin’s restrained victory speech, and the Moscow victory parade
How, even in victory, Stalin immediately turned to looting German industry, securing Eastern Europe, and accelerating the Soviet atomic bomb program

If you’re interested in the Battle of Berlin, Stalin’s leadership, or how the end of WWII in Europe slid almost seamlessly into the Cold War, this video offers a detailed, narrative-driven look at one of history’s most consequential “victories” through Stalin’s eyes.
