️In April 1945 the Second World War was coming to its end in Europe. In accordance with the agreements between the leaders of anti-Hitler coalition Soviet and American troops were to meet on the Elbe river. From the Soviet Info bureau: «The soldiers of the 1st Ukrainian Front and the Anglo-American troops, allied with the Soviets, split up the front of the German troops, striking from the east and the west, and on 25 April at 13:30, linked-up in the centre of Germany near Torgau». The history of World War II accurately records the place, date and even time of the link-up between Soviet and American troops. However, there were numerous link-ups, each of them important in its own way. But they all were imbued with a spirit of soldierly brotherhood and hope for a lasting and happy peace.
