My dad was with the 1st hq g-2. They engaged the Russians in CZ. He said they had no fight left in them and they were done. We could have rolled into st Pete without breaking a sweat.
I’ve read similar accounts from Americans that encountered Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia; they described women leading Far Eastern minority troops (who barely spoke Russian). The Soviets had lost too many men to continue fighting; even their famed drive on berlin was basically slowly advancing depleted infantry units behind a rolling artillery barrage that destroyed everything in its path.
The wholesale looting of eastern Europe at the end of the war, where Soviets basically shipped anything that couldn’t be nailed down back to the USSR, gives an idea as to what they were facing at home; they stripped factories bare because their economy was so fouled up.
