the way to berlin
"March 1945. Along with the 5th
Division of the Russian Army, my Polish Army unit crossed the Oder
River into Germany. We passed the site of an earlier battle. The
Russians had hung Nazi officers on every tree along the road. They
looked as though they were still alive. Many other dead Nazis lay
scattered along across the field, at the edge of which a young
pretty Russian soldier stood, pointing the way to Berlin."
