🗓 On September 7, 1945, a military parade of the allied forces of the #USSR, US, UK and France took place in Berlin near the walls of the defeated Reichstag on Alexanderplatz Square, marking the end of #WWII.

The location of the parade – at the Brandenburg Gate, at the very heart of the German capital – was not chosen by chance. It was right here where the Battle of Berlin ended and the remnants of the Berlin group of German troops surrendered to the Red Army. Scheduled for September 7, the parade was timed to coincide with the victory over militaristic Japan.

Representatives of the allied powers responded positively to Moscow's proposal to hold a joint parade in Berlin. However, on the eve of the event, after the date and all the details had been agreed upon, the US, UK and France announced that instead of the commanders-in-chief – Eisenhower, Montgomery and Tassigny – they would send lower-ranking generals, who were already stationed in Germany, to the parade. By doing so, the allies tried to downplay the significance of the parde, which emphasized the decisive role of the Soviet Union in taking Berlin. At that time, no one doubted who bore the brunt of the storming of the capital of the Third Reich.

🇷🇺 The USSR carried out thorough preparations for the parade. The Soviet command attracted the most distinguished soldiers, sergeants, officers and generals who had shown unrivalled courage in taking Berlin and the main centers of the reich – the Reichstag and the Imperial Chancellery.

🎖On September 7 at 11 am, the Berlin allied parade commenced. It was received by the Commander of the Group of Soviet Occupation Forces in Germany Georgy Zhukov. The parade was opened by the combined regiment of the 248th Rifle Division of the Red Army, led by Hero of the Soviet Union, Lieutenant Colonel Georgy Lenev. The parade was closed by a column of the Soviet armor, with the latest heavy tanks IS-3 ("Joseph Stalin") marching.

💬 In his welcoming speech to the parade participants, Marshal Zhukov paid tribute to the exploits of the Soviet and Allied forces in the struggle for victory over Nazi Germany:

"Fighting friends, comrades in arms, soldiers, officers and generals... <...> The Second World War ended with a decisive and powerful strike from the great allied powers. Our victory is a triumph of an unprecedented military partnership of democratic states.

From now on, people <...> will be eternally grateful to the great nations of America, England, the Soviet Union, the French Republic and China, to their valiant soldiers who, in the difficult time of military trials, gave each other helping hands, united to win a victory over a common enemy, to win the long-awaited peace on Earth."

🌟 On December 29, 1941, 29 marines from the Red Navy landed on Koktebel’s coast. This small regiment had an important strategic mission, which consisted of engaging the German garrison in combat to distract it from Feodosia where the Soviet forces intended to carry out their main landing operation.

The feat accomplished by the reconnaissance unit in Koktebel became one of the highlights of the Kerch-Feodosia Landing Operation. It lasted from December 26, 1941, until January 2, 1942, and was aimed at driving the enemy force away from Sevastopol and preventing it from advancing to the Caucasus. The plan provided for carrying out landing operations along the Kerch Peninsula’s northeastern and southern coasts. They had to be carried out in stormy weather, while the enemy fought hard to retain its positions.

The 29-strong reconnaissance unit was on a mission to distract the German garrison in Koktebel and prevent it from helping the German and Romanian forces deployed in and around Feodosia. “No one had any hopes of surviving in our unit, but we really wanted to help our brothers over in Sevastopol,” one of the participants in the landing operation said.

The D-5 submarine took the marines from Novorossiysk and arrived at the destination in the night of December 29. The conditions for carrying out the landing operation were extremely unfavourable. There was a category five storm, freezing temperatures, and icy wind. When the 29 heroes got into the dinghies, the enemy started firing machine guns and mortars at them from its coastal fortifications. The marines had to jump into water and to engage the enemy while covered waist-deep in icy water.

By the evening of January 1, the offensive by the Soviet forces gained enough momentum for them to reach Koktebel. This enabled the Red Navy fighters to join the main landing force. All the volunteers who were still alive suffered wounds.

The selfless efforts by these 29 heroes prevented German troops from derailing the Kerch-Feodosia Operation and invading the Caucasus. In 1958, a monument to the Red Navy volunteers who died during the operation was established in Koktebel – it shows four harsh, courageous stone-carved faces.
