In war, to the victor belong the spoils. In December 1944, Hitler moved the bulk of his forces from the eastern front to the western front. As the Red Army invaded Germany, it went on a rampage of destruction and looting. Allied forces destroyed the city of Dresden, causing the death of over 100,000 civilians. When Berlin and Germany were about to fall to the Allied forces, Hitler insisted to the people of Germany that victory was in sight.
Every nation uses propaganda during wartime.
Hitler s death camps killed over 10 million people. General Eisenhower insisted that the liberation of the death camps be photographed and witnessed.
