So desperate to capture Berlin by May Day that he needlessly wasted hundreds of thousands of lives Had either been imprisoned or in hiding for years When many of the survivors returned he had them sent to Gulag for becoming "too westernized" After the battle they acted as snitches to the Politburo and told on troops who exhibited anti- Soviet behavior Got thousands thrown in the Gulags Finally

operations and treat injured men in desperate conditions, with almost no food or medicine It was almost all in vain, many of the men either died or were summarily killed by Soviets Hundreds of doctors prescribed thousands of doses of cyanide and other lethal drugs in April 1945 Were not thanked for their task Facilitated suicides throughout the city They saw it as a mercy and perhaps it was, but Jesus Christ it was mass euthanasia CIVILIANS Hitler forbade their evacuation so they struggled to survive in a sea of explosions and fire Were killed in droves in constant crossfire After the war they had to rebuild under occupation Ran an emergency casualty station at the Reich Chancellery Was a primary source for Hitler's behavior. in his last days Frustrated and disillusioned by Germany's

Hitler admired this and made him head of the Luftwaffe Killed himself three weeks later Saw the war as lost and quietly changed into civvies Knew it was a lost cause and did his best to minimize casualties ALBERT SPEER Hitler's architect and one of his closest friends Hitler ordered him to destroy Berlin's infrastructure to punish the German people for their alleged weakness Announced the surrender to the people of Berlin and died in KGB custody He openly defied the order and lost faith in Nazism because of it After the war wrote a memoir that became the main primary source for what

it holed up in a bunker unwilling to face the truth and its consequences Commanded phantom armies, dictated a will, married Eva, then killed himself In rare cases they survived the war but most often they were either shot by Soviets or discovered by SS death squads and hung in the streets Conspiracy theories abound to this day but there were many witnesses and the narrative is pretty straightforward Spoke fluent Russian because he had been an attaché in the 30s Tried to open surrender negotiations but failed Killed himself in shame Many later worked on the US space program and in other business ventures This is a Wernher von Braun wojak but he wasn't at Berlin Hitler ordered him to attack Soviet defenses to facilitate a breakout He said he couldn't do it, ran west, and sent

business in the world kept up during the fall of Berlin, and business was booming Halfheartedly tried to convince Hitler to escape then f----- off to the west and tried to negotiate peace Because money was worthless, they stockpiled nylon and chocolate bars Failed, was captured, killed himself before he could face the gallows Put up a surprisingly-strong defense of Berlin and turned out to be

French volunteers in the SS Nazi Germany's Minister of Propaganda, kept putting the stuff out until the very end Married him, gave away her possessions, then killed herself Had grown up brainwashed by

the good stuff they had been saving so the Russians couldn't get it Roamed around shooting and hanging any man not in uniform, regardless of age Probably what I would do tbh Shot some women and

deaths MARRIAGE MINISTERS Even until the end, followed the Nuremberg Race Laws and asked for peoples' ethnic origins Daring female test pilot Had his children killed then killed his wife then himself Skeletor-ass m----------- t This is a Catholic wojak but most were Protestant or civil HANNAH REITSCH Landed a plane in Berlin under withering Soviet gunfire, then took off again - was the last plane
