Berlin 1945…the Red Noose tightens around Berlin
What shall we do?? Is it all lost!?!?
Mein Fuehrer, we can continue the fight – but not from here.
The Fuehrer makes a desperate escape attempt into the streets of a Berlin in chaos. Can he make it to the helicopter before the Red Noose closes?!
The view from near Parisier Platz
The ruins of the Chancellery
Brandenberger Gate
The view from Tiergarten Park
The Russian scout patrol is first to close on the Chancellery
Soviet armor moves out from across the Tiergarten
Hitler’s escape party dashes for the LZ
Urrah! Onwards!! Take the Chancellery!
SS take up positions to block the Russian advance
Soviet armor and infantry on the move
Accurate fire from the plucky Nachtjagers pins the Soviet push…
…while the plucky Volksturm meet a hungry lion from the Berlin Zoo!
Achtung, gibt's ein Löwe! Fall Back!!!
Another Big Cat stalks the night. The last King Tiger rumbles into position…
…and greets the Russians with a roar!
The Soviet center stalls in fear of King Tigers and Nachtjagers
The King Tiger owns Parisier Platz!
Panther on the move, another cat comes calling
Russian armor takes a beating at Parisier Platz
The firefight intensifies as the Escape Party approaches the Platz on foot
Soviets work their way through the gardens to flank the German defenders…
…and push hard up Wilhem Strasseto close on the Escape Party
The Fa223 Drache approaches the LZ
SS Charlemagne hold up the Soviet push up Wilhem Strasse
Fierce fighting roils across Parisier Platz as the Escape Party makes it to the LZ
Hitler makes to the helicopter, flown by Hanna Reitsch
Nightmare --Der Krieg ist nicht vorbei!
