Сегодня, 24 июня 1945 года, Советский Союз стал свидетелем завершающей главы истории Великой Отечественной войны - в этот день состоялся первый Парад Победы на Красной площади, в котором приняло участие 40 000 тысяч солдат - героев, спасших мир от нацизма.

#МыПомним #Победа77
#OTD in 1945, the Allied nations (USSR, US, UK, France) held a historic joint military parade in Berlin to mark the Victory over Nazism. History must not be rewritten! #WeRemember that we fought, won and saved the world together from pure evil which is Nazism - ideology based on hatred.
The best way to honour the heroes who took a stand against the Nazis is to preserve the memory of their deeds. It is our common duty to prevent a new global war.

7 сентября 1945 года страны антигитлеровской коалиции - СССР, США, Великобритания и Франция - провели совместный военный парад в Берлине в ознаменование Победы над нацизмом. История не должна быть переписана! #МыПомним, что мы вместе сражались, победили и спасли мир от чистого зла - нацизма, идеологии, основанной на ненависти.
Лучший способ почтить героев, поднявшихся на борьбу с нацистами, это сохранить память об их подвигах. Предотвратить новую глобальную войну - наш общий долг.

⭐️ #OTD in 1944, Soviet troops launched the Baltic Offensive. The German command hoped to contain Soviet troops in the Baltic Region for at least a half a year but it only took the Red Army 71 days to liberate it.

🔻 German troops seized most of the Baltic Region in the summer of 1941. Relying on local collaborators, the Nazis established a tough occupational regime and carried out the mass murder of Jews, communists, Soviet workers and people considered the intelligentsia.

🔻 The large-scale operation allowed the Red Army to liberate much of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia and created the conditions to push the Nazis out of East Prussia. Germany lost an important food base and a convenient bridgehead for a strike against the Soviet troops advancing in East Prussia.
