Why is there still fighting in Prague after Hitler's death?

If you want to make this nonsense clear, you must clarify a few questions. First, Hitler's suicide does not mean that Germany surrendered. In fact, the Fuehrer committed suicide on the afternoon of April 30th, 1945, and the defenders in Berlin did not surrender until May 2nd. Legally speaking, this does not mean that Nazi Germany surrendered.

It was not until 2: 4 a.m. on May 7th1that Jodl, Minister of Operations of the Defence Force High Command, surrendered unconditionally to the Allied Command, and Wilhelm Keitel and other representatives of the Defence Force High Command surrendered to Marshal zhukov in Berlin on May 8th, that Nazi Germany was completely surrendered in law.

So after Hitler died, there was more than one battle in Prague. Polish breslau resisted until May 6, and German submarine forces resisted until May 4 to stop attacking and return to the port. Even the Battle of Paulia in Yugoslavia started in May 14 and ended the next day.

Knowing the above situation, we can talk nonsense about the battle of Prague. Officially, the fighting began on May 6th. In fact, Stalin decided to attack Prague in May 1. That is to say, when the attack order was given, the Soviet army was not sure that Hitler was really dead.

What's more, when the battle of Berlin ended and the Soviet army began to March on Prague, the locals revolted on May 5. This group of insurgents fought the Germans in the city, and they also brought in an inexplicable ally, the Russian People's Liberation Army led by Soviet rebel vlasov.

The name of this unit is China People's Liberation Army, which is actually equivalent to the puppet troops in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period. This is an ally that the Soviet Union can never accept. Of course, vlasov also has his own small abacus. He hopes to take this opportunity to beat back the Germans and then surrender to the Americans, so as to at least save his life. The VIP service of Gulag Hotel is by no means beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers.

Is the story here confusing enough? Don't be busy, it's even more chaotic here! Ferdinand Kallner, the resident German commander, also had his own plans. This guy has also heard about the reputation of the Gulag Hotel for a long time, hoping to move to the west and surrender to the Americans before the arrival of the Soviet Union.

In this way, two brothers who wanted to surrender to the Americans and one man who wanted to drive out the Nazis by himself, blood shed, struggled until news came from the west on May 8 that Germany surrendered unconditionally. So Marshal Kallner, who didn't get the marshal's scepter, gave up the command on the same day and went to Austria himself.

With a face of 900,000 Germans and vlasov trying to get close to the United States, he finally arrived at the Soviet Red Army. On the other side of the Soviet Red Army, george patton, a bloody veteran, began to attack the Soviet Union on May 9, with 2.02 million troops all over Prague. Soon, they joined forces with the US military and surrounded the network.

German resistance that did not receive the surrender order was completely eliminated in May 12 (according to Soviet data, it was 1 1), and there were more than 840,000 Soviet prisoners alone. Then the grey cow began to chase the traitor desperately. Poor vlasov was smoked by the Germans first, then by the Soviet Union, and finally escaped the treatment of VIP in the Gulag Hotel for life, because the Soviets thought it was more cost-effective to hang him.

Marshal Schellner was unlucky, too. He risked his life to run to Austria and finally realized his dream of surrendering to the American army. However, the American army without martial arts changed hands and handed him over to the Soviets. Fortunately, this guy was tenacious, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and came out alive. However, after returning to West Germany, he was sentenced to four years in prison and deprived of his pension. He died on 1973 with the help of relatives and friends.

Also unlucky was Joseph Smrkovsky, the leader of Prague Uprising, who made great efforts to direct the Uprising and tried to establish a proletarian Czechoslovakia. However, in the end, he regarded the Soviet Union as a brother and the Soviet Union regarded him as a cousin. Finally, after supporting the Prague Spring, he tasted the iron fist of the Soviet Union.

To sum up, after Hitler's death, the European theater was far more than the battle of Prague. This battle was nothing but messy fighting. Bullshit's over.
