German defend vs. USSR assault*
*
April 29, 1945:  In perhaps the greatest irony of the war, French troops of the 33rd SS Division "Charlemagne" together with other non-German troops of the 11th SS Division "Nordland" defend Hitler's Chancellory against the final assault by Red Army tanks and infantry.*
