Rubble fills streets of Berlin.

Rubble fills streets of Berlin. Rubble and shattered buildings line the streets of the Friedrichsstrasse in Berlin, the German capital which was captured by Red Army troops on May 2, 1945. Berlin fell to the Russians eleven days after Soviet forces hammered their way into the capital city and more than 70.000 German troops laid down their arms in surrender. U.S. President Harry S. Truman and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill proclaimed on May 8, and Soviet Marshal Josef Stalin announced on May 9, that the Germans all over Europe had surrendered unconditionally to the Allies.
