Winter at Pavlov's House Stalingrad 1943.

Ok I've made a few new maps of one of Konevs southern route to Berlin, so now I have 24 Battle for Berlin Scenarios, I may have a go at a campaign for the Konev battles south of Berlin. Now go to write all the new maps orders, not my fav job... Cheers

Me neither...lol

Destroyed buildings on Alexander Strasse...

Yes and Cows, all adds to the mix...lol Remember a German Infantry Division had approx 4,800 horses, in fact the German Army was 80% horse drawn, even in 1945.

Dusky evening as the wehrmacht battles against Konev's massive 1st Ukrainian Front tank troops... like this ISU II heavy Soviet tank... or this ISU 152 Can the German Rearguard units hold on whilst the bulk of the Battalion escape to prepared defence positions, before being surrounded and destroyed??? New scenario for Battle for Berlin, coming soon.

Konev Crosses the Teltow Canal April 24th 1945. On the morning of April 24th, fierce fighting was taking place at the Teltow Canal – between the troops of Ivan Konev’s 1st Ukrainian Front and the 20th Panzergrenadier Division. With the latter successfully eliminating a bridgehead that the Red Army had established earlier at Lankwitz. The previous evening nearly 3,000 guns and heavy mortars had been positioned to fire north across the canal – and into the city – bombarding the warehouses sheltering the Volkssturm detachments positioned alongside the 18th and 20th Panzergrenadier Division as waves of Soviet aviators joined in the pummelling of the defences. With the attack starting at 6am on April 24th, this would be an even greater concentration of fire than Konev had unleashed on the Neisse river crossing eight days earlier. From a rooftop observation post, Marshal Konev was able to look out across the city of Berlin and assess the scene: “From the roof of this building we had a fine view of Berlin, especially its southern and south-western districts. The left flank could be seen as far as Potsdam. Our field of vision extended to the right flank where, on the outskirts of Berlin, troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front and the 1st Belorussian Front were to link up. I remember how vast the city appeared to me. I noted the massive old buildings, in which the district that lay before me abounded, and the density of these buildings; I took note of everything that might complicate our task of capturing Berlin. I also noticed the canals, rivers, and streams that crossed Berlin in different directions and were plainly visible from above. Such a multiplicity of water obstacles promised additional difficulties. Before us lay a frontline city, besieged and prepared for defence. Had there been a reasonable government at the head of Germany, it would have been logical, under the circumstances, to expect from it an immediate surrender. Only surrender could have preserved what still remained of Berlin; it would also have saved the lives of many of its citizens. But it was apparently futile to expect a reasonable decision and we had to fight it out. As I gazed upon Berlin I reflected that its end would spell the end of the war and that the sooner we took the city the sooner the war would be over.” The ad hoc nature of the city’s defence and the desperate finality of the fight that would take place in Berlin meant that the Soviet ground forces were expecting to engage in brutal urban fighting that would mean blood shed for every metre advanced.

There are no windows on the Brandenburg gate, as there are none. The Reichstag has usable windows, and the big grey one can have windows although I sometimes do not add them for tactical reasons, ie the user has to blast their wayin? Cheers
