The Historical Works of the Soviet Union,
Part Six:
In late December of 1944, Soviet forces would siege the Hungarian capital of Budapest. To get the city and the enemy forces in the city, to surrender to the Soviet Union. There was not only, Hungarian forces inside Budapest, but also German forces. This siege would also starve, the Hungarian civilians inside.
In January 1945, a armistice is signed between Hungary and the Soviet Union. However, Soviet forces continued sieging Budapest. Largely to get the German forces there, to surrender and become prisoners of war.
Also in January, 2 fronts of Soviet forces, making up 2,100,000 soldiers in total. Invaded more of German controlled Poland. To try capturing more of it. There was also the first Polish army, made up of 91,000 Polish soldiers, that was helping the Soviet Union recapture Poland. This was all called the Vistula-Oder offensive.
Also in January, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, sent Soviet forces to invade a part of Germany called East Prussia. To start trying to capture, East Prussia. This was to give less resources(which comes from all parts of Germany) and confidence to German forces. This was also planned to make East Prussia, controlled by the Soviet Union.
Some of Soviet soldiers, that were invading East Prussia, raped German females, with some of the raped females being teenage and child ones. The Soviet soldiers that did that, based it around wanting to have sex, getting revenge on Germany for killing Soviet civilians, including teenage and child ones and possibly to try sacring Germany into summiting defeat. One Soviet soldier said quote, "Every soldier, every officer and every general, who had seen the Ukraine in blood and fire, who had heard the true story of what had been happening in the Ukraine during the 2 years of German rule, understands to the bottom of their souls that there are only 2 sacred words left. One of them is love and the other one is revenge."
Also in January, German civilians in east Prussia, fled East Prussia, started fleeing to other parts of Germany, as refugees. To try escaping war crimes. In one case, there was a ship with over 1,000 East Prussian refugees and some German soldiers guarding the ship, that was that Sunk by Soviet forces. Soviet naval forces sunk the ship, as it had German soldiers. As well as German civilians trying to flee, a region that the Soviet Union, wanted under their control.
In early February, the Soviet Union won the Vistula-Oder offensive. Capturing much Polish terrioty, including remaining Polish territory, under German occupation and control. The occupied cities included the Polish cities of Warsaw and Lodz. The Polish city of Poznan, was sieged by Soviet forces. With the siege going on after the Vistula-Oder offensive. In the offensive, 43,000 soldiers got killed or missing, with 150,000 getting sick or wounded. The German forces, didn’t fight back against the Soviet forces much, for whatever reason.
The Soviet Union capturing end of the occupied Polish territory. Meant, the Polish people in the territory, were not starving to death, from having food taken away, to feed the occupying German forces and for the dead Polish people, to help give room, for German people to live there. The Soviet Union, also captured the holocaust execution camp of Auschwitz, in Poland and freed the 6,000 Jews there.
The Soviet Union had just captured, all Polish territory, under German control and occupation. This ended the occupation, where Germany starved Polish people to death, by taking food, for their soldiers occupying it. While Soviet soldiers would then occupy Poland. Soviet soldiers were not feed as much, as German soldiers. Much of Poland’s territory, conquered off Poland, was unofficially made a part of Germany itself. Since some of the people living in that territory, were culturally German. So not all Polish territory, that was made a part of Germany, was still not captured by the Soviet Union.
One Soviet war journalist in the Vistula-Oder offensive wrote quote, "I wanted to shout, to call to all our brothers, our soldiers who are lying, in the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish earth, who sleep forever on the fields of the battles. Comrades, can you hear us? We've done it!"
Also in February, just after the Vistula-Oder offensive, Joseph Stalin went to visit the Soviet city of Yalta in Crimea, in the Yalta conference, which the British and American leaders were also at. It was agreed, the Soviet Union should be able to capture, the German controlled Czech region and the German vassal nation(a nation with another one having some control over it) of Slovakia. So the 2 regions, could be formed into the nation of Czechoslovakia, which the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, planned to make into a communist vassal nation.
It was also agreed, at the Yalta conference, that Germany should surrender, to become under the control of the Soviet Union, France, Britain, and America. With the Soviet Union getting to control almost all eastern Germany.
Part of the motive for wanting Germany to surrender, was to remove the Nazis from power, both as revenge and so they wouldn't become even the smallest threat. It also agreed, the any German who helped commit the holocaust, against Jews, including Soviet Jews, will be sentenced to imprisonment, or execution, this would include Adolf Hitler. This agreement, also meant the war goal, of the Soviet Union, wasn’t just to defeat Germany and its wartime allies, but to conquer Czechoslovakia and part of Germany.
There were 2 things, the Soviet Union wanted to do with conquered eastern Germany. Make a lot of it, into having the communist vassal nation, of East Germany. With much of it, including East Prussia having their German population deported, mainly to East Germany. There were a few motives for the Soviet Union to do deport the Germans. This would also include taking the political territory of Germany, of where most of the deported were from. Making Germany and East Germany a smaller region, then it would be. There were reasons for this deportation:
1.The land and political territory off the Germans, in much of East Prussia. To be given to the Soviet Union and its people for settlement. Which would decrease the chances of it ever being overpopulated, while still allowing the Soviet population to increase
2.Give land and political territory to the Czech people and Czechoslovakia, from the Sudetenland, which Germany conquered into being a part of Germany, in 1938.
3.The land and political territory off the Germans, in much of eastern Germany, including much of East Prussia. Was to be given to Poland and its people for settlement. As well as land from the Germans that lived in Poland, before and during World War 2. There were a number of reasons for this:
a. Let 3,5000,000 Polish people from the formerly German occupied region of Poland(that was overcrowded to
damaged buildings in war) to settle there. This the Soviet Union hoped would make the Polish people less mad at the Soviet Union, for the conquest of eastern Poland in 1939, mentioned in part 3, of the historical work.
b. To be able to get 1,700,000 Polish people the Soviet Union planned to be deported, from the once conquered Eastern Poland, to settle the land. To be in their own country. Where they would be less likely to rebel against the Soviet Union. Less Polish people in the Soviet Union, which would decrease the chances of it ever being overpopulated, while still allowing the Soviet population to increase
4. Part of excuse and motivation, for all the deportation, was getting Germany, to give at least some compensation and revenge, for countries it killed the civilians of.
Also in the Yalta conference, the Soviet Union agreed to go to invade territory, of German allied Japan. In return for getting a small amount of territory, off the Japanese Empire to become a part of the Soviet Union.
Also, in the Yalta conference, the Soviet Union agreed to only help conquer Germany, if America and Britain, did airstrikes on few German cities, including Dresden.
In February, after the Yalta conference, Soviet forces invaded the German region of Silesia. Capturing much of Silesia and sieging its main city, of Breslau. Breslau had German forces, made up of 50,000 German soldiers, who were largely under trained. While Soviet soldiers, with the same amount of trained and experienced Soviet soldiers sieged the city. With the Soviet forces, marching into the city to fight the German forces. Many German civilians, including teenage and child ones, would be killed by Soviet airstrikes and artillery, in Breslau.
In late February, Britain and America did airstrikes on Dresden. As the Soviet Union wanted. It destroyed military targets and holocaust works. It would kill 25,000 German civilians, including teenage and child ones, along the way.
Also in late February, Soviet forces started a offensive and invasion, of the German region of East Pomerania. In which the Soviet forces, would fight German forces.
Also in February, in the siege of Budapest. Soviet forces marched into Budapest. Then captured the city and killed and captured 15,000 remaining German and rouge Hungarian soldiers. By then German forces there, had started a number of battles against the sieging Soviet forces, which tried and failed to stop the siege. 80,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and 240,00 were wounded, in the siege.
Even though Hungary had signed a armistice and Budapest was captured in the siege. German forces were still stationed in Hungary. In part to steal oil, from Hungarian oil fields.
In March, the German forces, stationed in Hungary, were sent to fight Soviet forces in Hungary. In a event called the spring awakening. Then the Soviet forces, in Hungary were sent to launch a offensive against, Germans forces in Hungary, to stop the spring awakening and take the Hungarian oil fields off them.
Also in March, in the offensive invasion of East Pomerania, Soviet forces captured the German city of Kolberg.
Also by April, America, Britain and France, had captured German control Belgium and some of western Germany. While communist rebels in Yugoslavia, had captured more of Yugoslavia. Also by April, nearly almost all of East Prussia, had been captured, by Soviet forces.
In April, Soviet forces in Hungary had captured the rest of Hungary and it’s oil fields Germany was using. By then 5,000-200,000 Hungarian females had been raped, by certain Soviet soldiers. This was done in part to get revenge on Hungary, for being allied to Germany, which killed Soviet civilians.
Also in early April, Soviet forces invaded and captured German controlled Slovakia. A part of the German controlled Czechoslovakia.
Also in April, Soviet forces sieged the German city of Konigsberg, in East Prussia. The Soviet forces would shoot at the city, using artillery. This would kill both German soldiers and German civilians.
In the siege of Konigsberg, German forces from the city, would battle the sieging Soviet forces, a few times, in the siege. To try making the Soviet forces, retreat from the siege. The Soviet forces would win the battles. The sieging Soviet forces also fought against German forces, by capturing some of the city. Then then the rest Konigsberg was surrendered by German forces, to the Soviet forces.
Just after the siege of Konigsberg, in April. Soviet forces captured the city of Vienna, off Germany, after a battle with German forces. Vienna was a city, in the region Austria, which at this point was a part of Germany. There were Soviet forces in Austria, which were there through marching from Hungary to Austria. However, Adolf Hitler believed that Germany would win World War 2, based around the belief, the Soviet Union’s ally America, would leave World War 2, if Germany didn’t lose their capital city, of Berlin.
After Vienna was captured by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, decided to go capture Berlin. Joseph Stalin, believed that if the Soviet Union didn’t capture Berlin, one of 2 things would happen. Other Germany wouldn’t surrender itself, to be conquered. Or America would capture Berlin, which would make it look like America defeated Germany, instead of the Soviet Union.
So, 3 sets of Soviet forces, each from the 1st Belarusian front, 2nd Belarusian front and 1st Ukrainian front, were sent to the battle of Berlin. Where the Soviet forces would try capturing Berlin and territory around Berlin, in the battle of Berlin. The Soviet forces made up 2,500,000 Soviet soldiers in total. The leader of the 1st Belarusian front, was a skilled military leader, Gregory Zhukov.
The battle of Berlin, would begin when the 1st Belarusian front, fought German forces to try capturing territory around Berlin. The Soviet forces would win and capture the territory. The set of Soviet forces from 1st Ukrainian front, tried to enter the battle of Berlin, but got halted by losing the battle of Bautzen, against German forces.
Then 1st and 2nd Belarusian front, would march in Berlin itself and fight German forces there, capturing much of the city. Fearing he would be captured and executed, by Soviet forces, Adolf Hitler, killed himself, to prevent that.
Then in May, German forces in East Prussia surrendered to the Soviet Union Letting the Soviet Union capture the rest of East Prussia. Ending the East Prussian offensive which killed 126,000 Soviet soldiers. Then German forces in Berlin, surrendered Berlin to the Soviet Union. Ending the battle of Berlin which killed 80,000 Soviet soldiers. 1,000s of German civilians were killed by crossfire, Soviet arterially. Then German forces in Breslau surrendered the rest of the city, in the battle of Breslau. Which many Soviet soldiers were killed in. By then, many German females were raped by some of the Soviet soldiers, not just in East Prussia.
Then finally Germany surrendered itself to America, Britain, France and the Soviet Union. Which included the German ruled terrioty in Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and the Soviet state of Latvia, going to the Soviet Union. The German terrioty, the Soviet Union planned to make into the communist puppet nation of East Germany. Would be under Soviet control and occupation for around 4 years. Largely to scare off rebellion, until the German people there could accept, they were conquered by the Soviet Union.
In the Soviet Union’s occupation of eastern Germany, even after Germanys surrender. There were cases of certain Soviet soldiers raping German females. The rape that would happen in this occupation and the rape that happened during the invasion, would rape 2,000,000 German females.
Germany surrendering itself, also meant the Nazi party, that was committing the holocaust, was over. By then the holocaust, on Jews, outside the Soviet Union alone, killed at least 3,500,000 Jews, including teenage and child ones. The holocaust camps also killed 100,000s of Gypsies, including Soviet ones.
Germany being defeated meant Germanys non-Jewish Soviet civilians, put in slave labour for the war, were back in the Soviet Union. If they didn’t die during the slave labour. These former slaves, were insulted and discriminated, back in the Soviet Union, for surrendering themselves to be Germanys slaves. At least a small amount of them, were sent to the gulag slave labour camps.
World War 2 was not over yet, as Japan was still in World War 2. By August, the Soviet Union had still not directly fought Japan. However, Japan still had much of its territory lost, including almost all of Papua New Guinea, Burma and all of the Philippines.
Also by August, the Soviet Union’s wartime ally America, had a nuclear bomb, they made through science. America dropped a nuclear bomb, on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Killing many Japanese civilians and some Japanese soldiers.
In August, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, sent 2 sets Soviet forces, called the 1st and 2nd far eastern fronts. To the Chinese region Manchuria. In the Manchurian strategic offensive operation. With Manchuria being a Japanese vassal nation. In total, there were around 900,000 Soviet soldiers, in these fronts.
The Soviet forces in Manchuria, would fight Japanese and Manchurian soldiers, which totaled at least 940,000 soldiers. The Soviet invasion in Manchuria surprised the unprepared Japanese forces. So began capturing much Manchurian territory and Japanese soldiers. Also in Japanese controlled Korea, communist rebels captured some territory in off Japan.
At the same time, Soviet forces also invaded southern Sakhalin, which was a part of Japan. Fight Japanese forces there and capture the island. Sakhalin was a island and northern Sakhalin, was already a part of the Soviet Union.
In September, Japan surrendered itself and its Japanese ruled territory, to the Soviet Union and Soviet wartime allies. The Soviet Union, would make sure Manchuria, went to one of the 2 Chinese nations, that was at war with Japan. Which was communist China. They also made sure northern Korea, was given to the Soviet Union. To be planned to be made into a communist puppet nation. With the communist rebels in Korea, becoming the North Korean government. The Japanese controlled region of southern Sakhalin, were made a part of the Soviet Union.
In Manchurian 100,000s of Japanese soldiers had been captured and 10,000s killed. The Soviet Union had 24,500 soldiers wounded and 12,100 killed, in Manchurian. 220,000 Japanese civilian immigrants had been captured and imprisoned, by the Soviet Union. Possibly to punish Japan for being allied with Germany and making sure they didn’t rebel against communist China. 10,000s of Japanese immigrants died in the prisons, since the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, didn’t bother to spend much on food for the prisoners. Eventually, the prisoners were sent back to Japan.
Japan and southern Korea, were made under the control and occupation of America. With them planned to be released as nations years later.
After the war, the World War 2 Soviet soldiers, became World War 2 Soviet veterans. The distress of the Soviet soldiers fighting a war, gave many of the veterans, a mental illness PTSD(post-traumatic stress disorder). Many Soviet soldiers were injured from battle. At least 7,500,000 Soviet soldiers were killed from battle. Well over 1,000,000 Soviet soldiers, got killed due to poor conditions, in enemy prisoner of war camps, including one of Joesph Stalin's sons. Over 10,000,000 Soviet civilians, including teenage and child ones died in World War 2. The families of the dead soldiers and civilians, lost loved ones. The civilian dead including but was not limited to:
1. 800,000 killed in the siege of Leningrad
2. 100,000s due to food rations, in territory under Soviet control, outside Leningrad
3. 100,000s due to doctors looking after soldiers instead of civilians
4. At least around 4,100,000 civilians that died of famine in German controlled regions in the Soviet Union. Some of which, Germany committed scotched earth policy in
5. 1,000,000+ to 2,500,000 Soviet Jews killed, such as those killed in war massacres and the holocaust targeting Jews
6. 2,000,000 non-Jewish Soviet civilians killed through conditions in slave labour, by Germany
Many people in the Soviet Union, in World War 2, had experienced famine and warzones. This was particularly bad for children, that experienced it. Distress during childhood can make them psychologically more immoral and therefore more likely to be a immoral criminal.
Anti-communist Ukranian farmers who joined up to the Germany army to fight against the Soviet Union and did not get killed in the war, were to be in the gulag slave labour camps after the war was over, as punishment for betraying the Soviet Union. Captured German soldiers were not straight away released from their former prisoner of war camps, the gulag slave labour camps, as extra revenge for German harm on civilians.
After World War 2, millions of Germans were deported and German territory was given other to other countries, by the Soviet Union, as planned. Some of them died during the deportation, due to the conditions. 100,000s of them, who were living in Poland, before and during World War 2, were deported to the gulag slave labour camps, largely as extra revenge, for Germanys harm, against Soviet civilians.
In January 1945, a armistice is signed between Hungary and the Soviet Union. However, Soviet forces continued sieging Budapest. Largely to get the German forces there, to surrender and become prisoners of war.
Also in January, 2 fronts of Soviet forces, making up 2,100,000 soldiers in total. Invaded more of German controlled Poland. To try capturing more of it. There was also the first Polish army, made up of 91,000 Polish soldiers, that was helping the Soviet Union recapture Poland. This was all called the Vistula-Oder offensive.
Also in January, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, sent Soviet forces to invade a part of Germany called East Prussia. To start trying to capture, East Prussia. This was to give less resources(which comes from all parts of Germany) and confidence to German forces. This was also planned to make East Prussia, controlled by the Soviet Union.
Some of Soviet soldiers, that were invading East Prussia, raped German females, with some of the raped females being teenage and child ones. The Soviet soldiers that did that, based it around wanting to have sex, getting revenge on Germany for killing Soviet civilians, including teenage and child ones and possibly to try sacring Germany into summiting defeat. One Soviet soldier said quote, "Every soldier, every officer and every general, who had seen the Ukraine in blood and fire, who had heard the true story of what had been happening in the Ukraine during the 2 years of German rule, understands to the bottom of their souls that there are only 2 sacred words left. One of them is love and the other one is revenge."
Also in January, German civilians in east Prussia, fled East Prussia, started fleeing to other parts of Germany, as refugees. To try escaping war crimes. In one case, there was a ship with over 1,000 East Prussian refugees and some German soldiers guarding the ship, that was that Sunk by Soviet forces. Soviet naval forces sunk the ship, as it had German soldiers. As well as German civilians trying to flee, a region that the Soviet Union, wanted under their control.
In early February, the Soviet Union won the Vistula-Oder offensive. Capturing much Polish terrioty, including remaining Polish territory, under German occupation and control. The occupied cities included the Polish cities of Warsaw and Lodz. The Polish city of Poznan, was sieged by Soviet forces. With the siege going on after the Vistula-Oder offensive. In the offensive, 43,000 soldiers got killed or missing, with 150,000 getting sick or wounded. The German forces, didn’t fight back against the Soviet forces much, for whatever reason.
The Soviet Union capturing end of the occupied Polish territory. Meant, the Polish people in the territory, were not starving to death, from having food taken away, to feed the occupying German forces and for the dead Polish people, to help give room, for German people to live there. The Soviet Union, also captured the holocaust execution camp of Auschwitz, in Poland and freed the 6,000 Jews there.
The Soviet Union had just captured, all Polish territory, under German control and occupation. This ended the occupation, where Germany starved Polish people to death, by taking food, for their soldiers occupying it. While Soviet soldiers would then occupy Poland. Soviet soldiers were not feed as much, as German soldiers. Much of Poland’s territory, conquered off Poland, was unofficially made a part of Germany itself. Since some of the people living in that territory, were culturally German. So not all Polish territory, that was made a part of Germany, was still not captured by the Soviet Union.
One Soviet war journalist in the Vistula-Oder offensive wrote quote, "I wanted to shout, to call to all our brothers, our soldiers who are lying, in the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish earth, who sleep forever on the fields of the battles. Comrades, can you hear us? We've done it!"
Also in February, just after the Vistula-Oder offensive, Joseph Stalin went to visit the Soviet city of Yalta in Crimea, in the Yalta conference, which the British and American leaders were also at. It was agreed, the Soviet Union should be able to capture, the German controlled Czech region and the German vassal nation(a nation with another one having some control over it) of Slovakia. So the 2 regions, could be formed into the nation of Czechoslovakia, which the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, planned to make into a communist vassal nation.
It was also agreed, at the Yalta conference, that Germany should surrender, to become under the control of the Soviet Union, France, Britain, and America. With the Soviet Union getting to control almost all eastern Germany.
Part of the motive for wanting Germany to surrender, was to remove the Nazis from power, both as revenge and so they wouldn't become even the smallest threat. It also agreed, the any German who helped commit the holocaust, against Jews, including Soviet Jews, will be sentenced to imprisonment, or execution, this would include Adolf Hitler. This agreement, also meant the war goal, of the Soviet Union, wasn’t just to defeat Germany and its wartime allies, but to conquer Czechoslovakia and part of Germany.
There were 2 things, the Soviet Union wanted to do with conquered eastern Germany. Make a lot of it, into having the communist vassal nation, of East Germany. With much of it, including East Prussia having their German population deported, mainly to East Germany. There were a few motives for the Soviet Union to do deport the Germans. This would also include taking the political territory of Germany, of where most of the deported were from. Making Germany and East Germany a smaller region, then it would be. There were reasons for this deportation:
1.The land and political territory off the Germans, in much of East Prussia. To be given to the Soviet Union and its people for settlement. Which would decrease the chances of it ever being overpopulated, while still allowing the Soviet population to increase
2.Give land and political territory to the Czech people and Czechoslovakia, from the Sudetenland, which Germany conquered into being a part of Germany, in 1938.
3.The land and political territory off the Germans, in much of eastern Germany, including much of East Prussia. Was to be given to Poland and its people for settlement. As well as land from the Germans that lived in Poland, before and during World War 2. There were a number of reasons for this:
a. Let 3,5000,000 Polish people from the formerly German occupied region of Poland(that was overcrowded to
damaged buildings in war) to settle there. This the Soviet Union hoped would make the Polish people less mad at the Soviet Union, for the conquest of eastern Poland in 1939, mentioned in part 3, of the historical work.
b. To be able to get 1,700,000 Polish people the Soviet Union planned to be deported, from the once conquered Eastern Poland, to settle the land. To be in their own country. Where they would be less likely to rebel against the Soviet Union. Less Polish people in the Soviet Union, which would decrease the chances of it ever being overpopulated, while still allowing the Soviet population to increase
4. Part of excuse and motivation, for all the deportation, was getting Germany, to give at least some compensation and revenge, for countries it killed the civilians of.
Also in the Yalta conference, the Soviet Union agreed to go to invade territory, of German allied Japan. In return for getting a small amount of territory, off the Japanese Empire to become a part of the Soviet Union.
Also, in the Yalta conference, the Soviet Union agreed to only help conquer Germany, if America and Britain, did airstrikes on few German cities, including Dresden.
In February, after the Yalta conference, Soviet forces invaded the German region of Silesia. Capturing much of Silesia and sieging its main city, of Breslau. Breslau had German forces, made up of 50,000 German soldiers, who were largely under trained. While Soviet soldiers, with the same amount of trained and experienced Soviet soldiers sieged the city. With the Soviet forces, marching into the city to fight the German forces. Many German civilians, including teenage and child ones, would be killed by Soviet airstrikes and artillery, in Breslau.
In late February, Britain and America did airstrikes on Dresden. As the Soviet Union wanted. It destroyed military targets and holocaust works. It would kill 25,000 German civilians, including teenage and child ones, along the way.
Also in late February, Soviet forces started a offensive and invasion, of the German region of East Pomerania. In which the Soviet forces, would fight German forces.
Also in February, in the siege of Budapest. Soviet forces marched into Budapest. Then captured the city and killed and captured 15,000 remaining German and rouge Hungarian soldiers. By then German forces there, had started a number of battles against the sieging Soviet forces, which tried and failed to stop the siege. 80,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and 240,00 were wounded, in the siege.
Even though Hungary had signed a armistice and Budapest was captured in the siege. German forces were still stationed in Hungary. In part to steal oil, from Hungarian oil fields.
In March, the German forces, stationed in Hungary, were sent to fight Soviet forces in Hungary. In a event called the spring awakening. Then the Soviet forces, in Hungary were sent to launch a offensive against, Germans forces in Hungary, to stop the spring awakening and take the Hungarian oil fields off them.
Also in March, in the offensive invasion of East Pomerania, Soviet forces captured the German city of Kolberg.
Also by April, America, Britain and France, had captured German control Belgium and some of western Germany. While communist rebels in Yugoslavia, had captured more of Yugoslavia. Also by April, nearly almost all of East Prussia, had been captured, by Soviet forces.
In April, Soviet forces in Hungary had captured the rest of Hungary and it’s oil fields Germany was using. By then 5,000-200,000 Hungarian females had been raped, by certain Soviet soldiers. This was done in part to get revenge on Hungary, for being allied to Germany, which killed Soviet civilians.
Also in early April, Soviet forces invaded and captured German controlled Slovakia. A part of the German controlled Czechoslovakia.
Also in April, Soviet forces sieged the German city of Konigsberg, in East Prussia. The Soviet forces would shoot at the city, using artillery. This would kill both German soldiers and German civilians.
In the siege of Konigsberg, German forces from the city, would battle the sieging Soviet forces, a few times, in the siege. To try making the Soviet forces, retreat from the siege. The Soviet forces would win the battles. The sieging Soviet forces also fought against German forces, by capturing some of the city. Then then the rest Konigsberg was surrendered by German forces, to the Soviet forces.
Just after the siege of Konigsberg, in April. Soviet forces captured the city of Vienna, off Germany, after a battle with German forces. Vienna was a city, in the region Austria, which at this point was a part of Germany. There were Soviet forces in Austria, which were there through marching from Hungary to Austria. However, Adolf Hitler believed that Germany would win World War 2, based around the belief, the Soviet Union’s ally America, would leave World War 2, if Germany didn’t lose their capital city, of Berlin.
After Vienna was captured by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, decided to go capture Berlin. Joseph Stalin, believed that if the Soviet Union didn’t capture Berlin, one of 2 things would happen. Other Germany wouldn’t surrender itself, to be conquered. Or America would capture Berlin, which would make it look like America defeated Germany, instead of the Soviet Union.
So, 3 sets of Soviet forces, each from the 1st Belarusian front, 2nd Belarusian front and 1st Ukrainian front, were sent to the battle of Berlin. Where the Soviet forces would try capturing Berlin and territory around Berlin, in the battle of Berlin. The Soviet forces made up 2,500,000 Soviet soldiers in total. The leader of the 1st Belarusian front, was a skilled military leader, Gregory Zhukov.
The battle of Berlin, would begin when the 1st Belarusian front, fought German forces to try capturing territory around Berlin. The Soviet forces would win and capture the territory. The set of Soviet forces from 1st Ukrainian front, tried to enter the battle of Berlin, but got halted by losing the battle of Bautzen, against German forces.
Then 1st and 2nd Belarusian front, would march in Berlin itself and fight German forces there, capturing much of the city. Fearing he would be captured and executed, by Soviet forces, Adolf Hitler, killed himself, to prevent that.
Then in May, German forces in East Prussia surrendered to the Soviet Union Letting the Soviet Union capture the rest of East Prussia. Ending the East Prussian offensive which killed 126,000 Soviet soldiers. Then German forces in Berlin, surrendered Berlin to the Soviet Union. Ending the battle of Berlin which killed 80,000 Soviet soldiers. 1,000s of German civilians were killed by crossfire, Soviet arterially. Then German forces in Breslau surrendered the rest of the city, in the battle of Breslau. Which many Soviet soldiers were killed in. By then, many German females were raped by some of the Soviet soldiers, not just in East Prussia.
Then finally Germany surrendered itself to America, Britain, France and the Soviet Union. Which included the German ruled terrioty in Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and the Soviet state of Latvia, going to the Soviet Union. The German terrioty, the Soviet Union planned to make into the communist puppet nation of East Germany. Would be under Soviet control and occupation for around 4 years. Largely to scare off rebellion, until the German people there could accept, they were conquered by the Soviet Union.
In the Soviet Union’s occupation of eastern Germany, even after Germanys surrender. There were cases of certain Soviet soldiers raping German females. The rape that would happen in this occupation and the rape that happened during the invasion, would rape 2,000,000 German females.
Germany surrendering itself, also meant the Nazi party, that was committing the holocaust, was over. By then the holocaust, on Jews, outside the Soviet Union alone, killed at least 3,500,000 Jews, including teenage and child ones. The holocaust camps also killed 100,000s of Gypsies, including Soviet ones.
Germany being defeated meant Germanys non-Jewish Soviet civilians, put in slave labour for the war, were back in the Soviet Union. If they didn’t die during the slave labour. These former slaves, were insulted and discriminated, back in the Soviet Union, for surrendering themselves to be Germanys slaves. At least a small amount of them, were sent to the gulag slave labour camps.
World War 2 was not over yet, as Japan was still in World War 2. By August, the Soviet Union had still not directly fought Japan. However, Japan still had much of its territory lost, including almost all of Papua New Guinea, Burma and all of the Philippines.
Also by August, the Soviet Union’s wartime ally America, had a nuclear bomb, they made through science. America dropped a nuclear bomb, on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Killing many Japanese civilians and some Japanese soldiers.
In August, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, sent 2 sets Soviet forces, called the 1st and 2nd far eastern fronts. To the Chinese region Manchuria. In the Manchurian strategic offensive operation. With Manchuria being a Japanese vassal nation. In total, there were around 900,000 Soviet soldiers, in these fronts.
The Soviet forces in Manchuria, would fight Japanese and Manchurian soldiers, which totaled at least 940,000 soldiers. The Soviet invasion in Manchuria surprised the unprepared Japanese forces. So began capturing much Manchurian territory and Japanese soldiers. Also in Japanese controlled Korea, communist rebels captured some territory in off Japan.
At the same time, Soviet forces also invaded southern Sakhalin, which was a part of Japan. Fight Japanese forces there and capture the island. Sakhalin was a island and northern Sakhalin, was already a part of the Soviet Union.
In September, Japan surrendered itself and its Japanese ruled territory, to the Soviet Union and Soviet wartime allies. The Soviet Union, would make sure Manchuria, went to one of the 2 Chinese nations, that was at war with Japan. Which was communist China. They also made sure northern Korea, was given to the Soviet Union. To be planned to be made into a communist puppet nation. With the communist rebels in Korea, becoming the North Korean government. The Japanese controlled region of southern Sakhalin, were made a part of the Soviet Union.
In Manchurian 100,000s of Japanese soldiers had been captured and 10,000s killed. The Soviet Union had 24,500 soldiers wounded and 12,100 killed, in Manchurian. 220,000 Japanese civilian immigrants had been captured and imprisoned, by the Soviet Union. Possibly to punish Japan for being allied with Germany and making sure they didn’t rebel against communist China. 10,000s of Japanese immigrants died in the prisons, since the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, didn’t bother to spend much on food for the prisoners. Eventually, the prisoners were sent back to Japan.
Japan and southern Korea, were made under the control and occupation of America. With them planned to be released as nations years later.
After the war, the World War 2 Soviet soldiers, became World War 2 Soviet veterans. The distress of the Soviet soldiers fighting a war, gave many of the veterans, a mental illness PTSD(post-traumatic stress disorder). Many Soviet soldiers were injured from battle. At least 7,500,000 Soviet soldiers were killed from battle. Well over 1,000,000 Soviet soldiers, got killed due to poor conditions, in enemy prisoner of war camps, including one of Joesph Stalin's sons. Over 10,000,000 Soviet civilians, including teenage and child ones died in World War 2. The families of the dead soldiers and civilians, lost loved ones. The civilian dead including but was not limited to:
1. 800,000 killed in the siege of Leningrad
2. 100,000s due to food rations, in territory under Soviet control, outside Leningrad
3. 100,000s due to doctors looking after soldiers instead of civilians
4. At least around 4,100,000 civilians that died of famine in German controlled regions in the Soviet Union. Some of which, Germany committed scotched earth policy in
5. 1,000,000+ to 2,500,000 Soviet Jews killed, such as those killed in war massacres and the holocaust targeting Jews
6. 2,000,000 non-Jewish Soviet civilians killed through conditions in slave labour, by Germany
Many people in the Soviet Union, in World War 2, had experienced famine and warzones. This was particularly bad for children, that experienced it. Distress during childhood can make them psychologically more immoral and therefore more likely to be a immoral criminal.
Anti-communist Ukranian farmers who joined up to the Germany army to fight against the Soviet Union and did not get killed in the war, were to be in the gulag slave labour camps after the war was over, as punishment for betraying the Soviet Union. Captured German soldiers were not straight away released from their former prisoner of war camps, the gulag slave labour camps, as extra revenge for German harm on civilians.
After World War 2, millions of Germans were deported and German territory was given other to other countries, by the Soviet Union, as planned. Some of them died during the deportation, due to the conditions. 100,000s of them, who were living in Poland, before and during World War 2, were deported to the gulag slave labour camps, largely as extra revenge, for Germanys harm, against Soviet civilians.
As bad as World War 2 was, for the Soviet Union, the captured territory from Germany and its allies, did 2 positive things for the Soviet Union. It made the Soviet people, in rereads to spreading communism happier. It got the Soviet Union to have conquered territory, that made it more powerful. Powerful, in a way, that made the Soviet Union, a superpower.
The newspapers and so forth in the Soviet Union, made it look like dictator Joseph Stalin, was a skilled military leader. Who helped the Soviet Union, a lot, in winning World War 2 and making the Soviet Union a superpower. Which got the Soviet people, to have a more positive view on him.
