My Father's outfit, a Combat Engineer battalion was sent into Berlin not too long after the Russians captured it. This was their first meeting with Russians outside Berlin.

Do you remember the unit? I think my uncle was in an engineer unit that went into Berlin right at the end.

What a long slog for those guys.
