🤝 77 years ago, on April 25, 1945, an official meeting of Soviet and Anglo-American forces took place on the Elbe River near the city of Torgau.

📚 The archives of the Russian Historical Society testify that the forward units of the 58th Guards Rifle Division met with the scouts of the American 60th Infantry Division at 15:30.

It is worth noting that Hitler also had hopes for this meeting. He believed that the allies would open fire against each other and start a new war. However, the calculations of the Nazis did not materialize.

🚩The meeting became a symbolic event for the soldiers who fought Nazi Germany for several years on different fronts and were only able to meet at the end of the war.
