At the beginning of 1945, Berlin remains under the spell of the Nazi promise of salvation. But its people's hopes are at odds with the city’s daily reality.

On 30 April, the Red Flag flies over the Reichstag. National Socialism is finally beaten, along with Germany and Berlin. But for many, the fall of Nazism spells liberation rather than defeat.

The British, French and Americans are waiting to enter Berlin. In the meantime, the Soviets appoint mayors, organise the food supply and go on the hunt for war criminals.
