After Hitler refused to leave the capital, he spent the remainder of his das in an underground bunker that was later known as the ‘Führerbunker’, in the center of the city. It was on the 20th April, his birthday, that he was last seen in public, awarding medals to those defending the city. Hitler used children and old men to defend the city. Pictured below you can see him awarding boys gold stars for their work.

Outclassed
In the end, a total of 1.5 million Soviet troops encircled and assaulted the capital, Berlin. The Nazi forces were outnumbered, outgunned and purely outclassed. They tried to slow down the Soviet advance but they couldn’t stop it. Hitler killed himself a day after marrying Eva Braun. There bodies were incinerated nearby.
