Inside the Reichstag

[Kavelin]

Has anyoen thought of a map that goes into the Reichstag?
i mean inside the Reichstag was some good fighting....
I would do it my self but well i cant map

 

[EvilHobo]

SchutzeSepp might be working on it, I'm not sure though.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

yeah, its on my list of things to do before i die

a map to come between konigs and pariserplatz, but im working on darkest hour mod team now. so i dont really have the time.

 

[EscAz]

I think almost all mappers have thought about this one once

It will need a huge amount of time and talent

 

[M.R.Maiornikov]

But you have to admit it would be awsome as a map. Maybe take a map like Koenigsplatz and extend it so that the russians have to actually enter the building for the last objective.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

the building itself deserves a map, if im right the germans inside fought for at least 3 days non-stop without eating or drinking.
after the reich surrendered they finally gave up the battle.

I believe they had some fierce fights over the Reichstag but i'm pretty certain these fights
didn't take 3 days of non stop fights without eating and drinking.

Off course the fight for the Reichstag have been dramatisezed after the war
so some reference or source would be nice....

I've heard they held for 24 hours in the basement.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

By 1:00 PM, April 30th, 1945, following a previous attack upon the Reichstag had failed, the Soviets were able to concentrate 89 artillery pieces to fire upon the Reichstag.
These Soviet artillery pieces included large 152mm--203mm cannon and truck supported screeming Rocket Launchers, known as Stalin Organs.
Following the Artillery barrage, the Reichstag was consumed in a large cloud of smoke.
The Soviets finally blew a 4 foot wide hole in the side of the Reichstag by firing two mortars at the same time, at a close range. When the Soviets entered the Reichstag, the German defenders continued to defend the Reichstag from within, on several floors, with close lethal hand-to-hand combat.
At 10:50 PM, April 30, 1945, the Soviets reached the roof of the Reichstag to mount the Communist Flag, as fighting continued within the Reichstag for another 24 hours. German resistance against the Soviets within the Reichstag was savage well into thelate afternoon of May 1st, 1945.

​

As the sun rose on May-Day, May 1st, 1945, the Soviet "Holy-Day" the day the Soviets had planned to capture the Reichstag before, with the Soviet flag mounted on the roof of the Reichstag, the Germans mocked the Soviet Communists by continuing to fight within the Reichstag. This demonstrated, the Reichstag was not captured before May-Day, as the Soviets desired.
As fighting went on, on all floors, the main final German strong point of the Reichstag was in the basement.
Late afternoon, May 1st, 1945, exhausted, thirsty, in torn ragged uniforms, the last of the Germans laid down their weapons, after fighting bravely defending the Reichstag from within the building, after the Soviet breach, about 24 hours earlier.
There was no shame in this surrender because the defenders of the Reichstag, as an Alamo, had bought time for Berlin as a whole.

So roughly said it wa 24 hours.....

 

[SchutzeSepp]

yes, but only the reichstag part.
those same soldiers had been fighting from the moltke bridge april 28-29
to konigsplatz april 29-30 and in the reichstag april 30- mai 1

 

[Nestor Makhno]

I believe that a lot of the fighting inside was what we all call 'nade-spam'.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

the first russians to enter the building were welcomed with panzerfausts, of wich the defenders had plenty

 

[Drecks]

yes, but only the reichstag part.

It's very good possible the attacking Russians did the same
They wheren't teleported there.

I must admitt before i became a member of this community i was a normal
easy going guy without issues. It's transformed into a hardened bitter asshole
and it's only the getting worse.

So prepare yourself.

 

[EvilHobo]
