Battle of Berlin

Kaiser Wilhelm Church

 I am writing down about Berlin again because part of Berlin world war 2 I missed and now I am going to share something about the role of Berlin city in World War 2. Berlin was the capital of Nazi Germany so that’s why in last days of World War 2 this city bears massive wounds given by allies’ forces and Russian troops.  World War 2 was begin at 1939 and in that days United kingdom was agreed to attack the German Military targets inside and out side Berlin. But later reports comes that RAF (Royal Air Force) also targeting civilian infrastructure. In reply German Air Force start targeting Rotterdam (2nd largest city of Netherlands) in 1940. in this year German forces enter the Netherlands to capture the whole country by order of adolf Hitler. 1000 civilian were killed but Dutch forces resist German army very bravely. But finely they fall. Well we were talking about Berlin’s role in World War 2 and the battle of Berlin in 1943. in November 1943 Harris launched a serial of air attacks on Berlin. As well as the other cites were also under attack randomly. In November in 1st air raid was not able to get there objectives because of cloudy weather. But in second attack on 22 November 1943 was most affective attack of Berlin’ battle. That 2nd air raid is famous because in that raid most of historical places were hit like charlottenburg, Spandau, Kaiser Wilhelm church, several embassies charolttenburg palace and zoo. On 17 December railways destroyed. And more attacks were taken place on 28 January and 15 February. The last raid of the battle of Berlin was in March 25. in the whole battle 315 raid took place till 1945 march. Near 1 million peoples get homeless and thousands of died including civilians. No matter who won the battle and who loss the reality is peoples died and loss there homes. No matter tanks and military vehicles are advancing or retreating earth is same every where and will be barren because of iron machine movements.
