1945. Forty flags over the Reichstag.

Pyatnitsky, Scherbina, Egorov, Kantaria... Nowadays people often ask this question: why did our grandfathers risk their lives for a piece of red cloth? What does it mean to take a building like the Reichstag? What does the Victory Banner mean to a Russian man? What role did the hoisting of the red banner play in world history? Officially, all the Russian history textbooks from 20th century tell us that the first to hoist the Victory Banner over the Reichstag were Mikhail Egorov and Meliton Kantaria. A Russian and a Georgian. It happened about A.M. on May 1, 1945. In this film we will restore historical justice. Not only Egorov and Kantaria - there were much more heroes, who back then, in May 1945, hoisted the red flag over the Reichstag. This episode is about that and about the creation of the symbol of the Great Victory. #Russianmilitarypower #Russianmilitary #military #CombatApproved #Zvezdatv #army #russianarmy #CombatApproved #Zvezdatv #history #Reichstag #Pyatnitsky #Scherbina #Egorov #Kantar
