The Unknown War is an American 20-part series that documents the World War II conflict between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Today, SouthFront shares the 15th part of the series titled “From the Balkans to Vienna”. With the Nazis collapsing, the Red Army began to advance in Romania late in August of 1944.
With the Soviets pressing on, the Nazis’ Antonescu puppet regime was overthrown on August 23. Just eight days later, the Red Army entered Bucharest.
On September 7, Soviet troops entered Bulgaria, where they were met with no resistance. The next day a Victory Parade was held in Sofia.
By the fall, Hungary remained Germany’s only ally and Nazi troops occupied its territory to prevent the Red Army from advancing. The desperate attempt to hold on to Hungary was costly for the Nazis however. They lost 128,000 troops. At least 138,000 others surrendered as prisoners as the Soviets entered Budapest on February 13 of 1945.
Next, the offensive on Austria was launched. The battle for Vienna was intense, though less destructive than that for Budapest. The Germans resisted desperately for a week, but finally surrendered on April 13. The Red Army Orchestra played its first waltz in liberated Vienna for the first time in many years of war.
The Soviet march from the Balkans to Vienna made it clear that the complete defeat of the Nazis was just a matter of time.

any non white (specially africans and asians) would be beaten to death by the white supremacists of the following organizations: ss aidar, ss kraken, wolfsangel (aka azov), waffen ss nachtigall (who were in kursk killing civilians), leibstandarte adolf hitler, right sektor – all of them hate africans and asians, and all of them are leading the ukrainian government and military. all of them funded by the us and eu tax payers
azov is not even national socialism they are just cia us deepstate tools to destabilize any peaceful relationship between russia and ukraine. because the usa and soros have interests in ukraine in minerals and rare earths and oil deposits. azov is a tool for them to safe guard those just like blackwater in iraq. they also mrdered many civilians while doing so. safe guarding the oil for the us corporations to exploit against the iraqi people
