• Hermann Wilhelm Göring

  Göring was officially the second man of the Nazi regime. However, his star was gradually fading. The failure of the Battle of Britain, the constant bombing raids on Germany and the nonsensical guarantee of the possibility of supplying the 6th Army surrounded at Stalingrad by air played a major role in this. Göring then withdrew considerably from public life and devoted himself more to his hobbies - hunting and stolen art objects. At the end of Nazi rule, he tried to take power and negotiate with the Americans and British. When Hitler found out, he stripped him of all his posts. Göring was the most prominent figure among the officials of Nazi Germany indicted and tried at the Nuremberg Tribunal. He was sentenced to death for his prominent role in Nazi crimes. However, he avoided execution by committing suicide by poison.

• Battle of Berlin

  The Battle of Berlin was the last of the most significant combat operations of World War II in Europe. The fighting continued for several days after the fall of the city, but it was only a question of how many German soldiers could fight their way into captivity by the Western Allies and how many would fall into Soviet hands. The fall of Berlin meant a symbolic blow to the interior of the Nazi regime. After all, the German leader committed suicide during the battle. The hoisting of the Soviet flag over the Reichstag building symbolized not only the fall of the capital of the Great German Empire, but also the expansion of Soviet influence into Central Europe.
