your leaders admitted that Ger

The capitulation, however, took
place in France. Hostilities did
not take place on German soil.
For that reason, Montgomery
continued, the German armies
were able to march home in good
order and the German leaders
then spread the 'fairytale" that
the soldiers had not been defeated.
Later, the German leaders told the
people that Germany was not re-
sponsible for the war and many OF
them, because they had not expert
enced hostilities, believed h e
propaganda.

wantonly unleashed this war, you
applauded then,' Montgomery
said. Once again after years Of
devastation, carnage and misery,
This time the Allied leaders were

men and material to assume the
outcome. We concentrated so much
technical equipment we were able
to break the German defense in
the shortest time possible and seize
Berlin.
1.-THE Germans were expecting a
heavy blow. We knew this, so we
had to introduce some element of
surprise. To make sure of this, I,
as commander of the attack, Or
dered an attack along the entire
front at night The Germans were
not looking for this.
1.-THE Germans expected a night
attack explained Zhukov, but
they did not think the entire weight
of the offensive would come after
dark"
The Marshal then gave for the
first time the story of the Rus
slams attack, with tanks and
troops and planes moving ahead at
night and powerful searchlights
showing the way and binding the
enemy.
I'VE launched this tank attack
On the night of April 1916 after
terrific artillery and mortar prep
aration. We threw 1000 tanks in
to the German lines supported by
searchlights and by $4,000 guns
and mortars and 1900 to 5000
planes. Our planes made $4,000
sorties within 24-hour period.
1--WE broke h e r resistance
quickly and moved in. Seeing that
this outer defense of Berlin had
crumbled, the Germans sent out
every kind of reserve from the city
itself. The reserves were routed
as fast as they came up by planes
and tanks. So by the time we
reached Berlin it's defense was
barred.
Their anti-aircraft had received
a hard blow and because of this
our planes were able to operate at
low levels.
More than 100000 Germans
participated in this battle of Ber-
lin. Three hundred thousand were
taken prisoner. One hundred and
fifty thousand were killed. The
rest just ran away. We learned an
important lesson in the Berlin bat
tie = particularly on night opera
TONS
Zhukov said Red army losses
were lighter than had been expect
ed because of the artillery. prep
aration and the speed of the tanks
and airplanes' thrusts.
Asked how Berlin's defenses
compared with those of Moscow,
Marshal Zhokov, known through
out the Soviet Union as the de-
fender of the capital replied;
mo comparison. The Germans
were beaten on the Oder. That's
where they met their end. That's
where the real battle took place.
While with us, the battle only be-
gan at the gates of Moscow.
"Moscow's defense was good and
strong and the morale high. So
we were able to switch to the Of
fensive, which was part Of our
plan"
