One million Red Army soldiers of Marshal Georgy Zhukov’s 1st Belorussian Front stand ready to storm the Third Reich’s last line of defence in the East. Over nine thousand artillery pieces, six thousand tanks and seven thousand aircraft of the Soviet colossus are brought forward to blast their way to the Reich’s capital of Berlin, the ‘lair of the fascist beast’.
