On the 16th April 1945, the gigantic massed artillery force of Zhukov's 1st Byelorussian Front began barraging Berlin's defensive positions on the Oder river, including the Gates of Berlin at the Seelow Heights. The artillery's terrible carnival was the final push to end a war which had taken some 27,000,000 Soviet lives, both civilian and military.
