    "Ellenburg? Is this guy out to cause trouble again?" Lin Bernard asked strangely.  <-¡·

    Don¡¯t be surprised that Lindbergh would ask this question. This is because Ellenborg was very famous at this time, not because he was a famous writer in the Soviet Union. He was famous for criticizing Europe and the Western world.  In 1941, after Ehrenburg returned to the Soviet Union from Paris, he wrote an article "The Fall of Paris", for which he won the Stalin Prize and caused a sensation in the Western world.

    I said: "It's him!"

    "Oh, why didn't you arrest this guy when he was in Paris?" Linbner felt extremely disgusted with Ellenborg.

    I smiled and said with certainty: "Don't worry, this guy won't have a good outcome!" <h1></h1>

    Bernard Lin obviously didn¡¯t believe it and said: ¡°Captain, this guy is Stalin¡¯s bearded general who loves him!¡±

    I smiled and asked Bernard Lin: "What if Stalin abandons him?"

    Bernard Lin choked on a sentence and was speechless. He just said: "How is this possible?"

    On the same day that the French government radio broadcast his speech, Ehrenberg published his last and most controversial article of the war in the Soviet newspaper "Red Star".  The title of the article is "Enough".  He wrote in the article:

    "Let the Germans die miserably, without sympathy, without dignity. Let us remember that grand military parade, the playground in Berlin, where Hitler once shouted that he would conquer the whole world. Where is he now? Where is he hiding?  In a cave? He once pushed Germany over the cliff, and now he prefers to disappear."

    Ehrenburg also argued in a high-profile manner in the article, "Germany has never appeared, only a huge bandit gang has appeared."

    In this article, Ehrenburg also used a sarcastic tone to compare Germany's stubborn resistance in the east and its surrender in the west.  He referred to the "huge Soviet casualties," something the Western Allies did not want to know.  He also mentioned the few atrocities committed by the Germans in France, such as the Massacre at Orlandale.  "There are four such villages in France, and how many are there in Belarus? Think of the villages in the Leningrad region"

    However, Ehrenberg published "Enough" on April 12, the day after.  He posted another article that was much more toned down in both tone and content than his previous comments.  Perhaps what shocked Ellenborg was that the article "Enough" aroused strong criticism against him from the upper echelons of the Soviet Union, because they believed that by doing so he was stating the Soviet Union's line and intentions towards Germany.

    The painful Ehrenburg realized later that he, who had always played the role of whipping Germany, had become a victim of the current situation.  The Soviet leaders realized late that day that the terror the Red Army's offensive had brought to civilians was arousing stronger resistance among the Germans and would complicate the Soviet Union's postwar rule over Germany.  In Ellenborg's later words:

    "They hope to eliminate the enemy's awareness of continuing to fight 'by pardoning those who had followed Hitler's orders.'"

    But when Ellenborg realized this situation, it was obviously too late.  A few days later, on April 14, Georgi Alexandrov, the main theorist of the Soviet Central Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department of the Soviet Union, published an article in Pravda entitled "Comrade Ehrenberg  Oversimplifying things¡± article in response.  The article occupied a very prominent position in the newspaper.  There is no doubt that this position was either personally selected by Stalin or vetted by him.

    Alexandrov rejected Ehrenberg's remarks about Germany's rapid surrender on the Western Front and his description of Germany as a gang of robbers.  The main contents include:

    ¡°While some German officials were working for the cannibalistic regime, others were dropping bombs on Hitler and his clique (the July Plotters) or getting the Germans to lay down their weapons (Von Cyprus).  General Delitz and the German Communist Party). The fact that the Gestapo was constantly looking for opponents of the Nazi regime and calling on Germans to expose these people shows that not all Germans were the same. Only the Nazi government was frantically calling for national unity,  And this overwhelming appeal is further evidence of the lack of unity.¡±

    Alexandrov also quoted Stalin's words: "The Hitlers have come and gone, but Germany and the German people are still there" - this slogan had been put forward as early as February 23, 1942, but it was really  It was used in 1945.

    Moscow Radio broadcast Alexandrov¡¯s article, and Red Star republished it.  A frustrated Ehrenburg found himself trapped in a political prison, and his letters of complaint to Stalin fell into disarray.

    No matter how Ehrenberg was abandoned by the current situation the Soviet Union was in at the time.  At this time, on the front line, the Soviet political department was obviously very uneasy about the current situation.  Because Stalin¡¯s previous route was very clearHe refused to fly away as the plane left the area.

    Marshal Model said calmly to his subordinates: "Don't persuade me to leave again. I will fight the Americans to the last moment. This is also the last and only glory in my life!"

    On April 21, when his troops began to surrender on a large scale, he shot and ended his life. When we learned about this, we couldn't help but admire him despite our different positions. I sighed.  : "What a pity!" I don't know what exactly it is a pity for.

    Berlin, Hitler¡¯s underground bomb shelter.

    Guderian¡¯s former assistant, General Wenck, was transferred back before he could fully recover from the car accident some time ago. He had just received news that he had been appointed commander-in-chief of the German Twelfth Army.  General Wenck suspected that this newly formed force had only appeared on paper and that its mission was to resist the American forces on the Elbe River.

    General Wenck met the top figures in Germany, including Hitler, Goering and Admiral D?nitz.  General Wenck told Hitler, "My F¨¹hrer, Army Group B has no ammunition, and the remaining tanks cannot start due to lack of fuel."

    General Wenck meant that Army Group B was finished. Hitler was silent for a long time before saying something that surprised everyone. Hitler said: "Marshal Model is my best field marshal."

    General Wenck thought that Hitler finally understood that everything in Army Group B should be over, but Hitler said: "You are now the commander of the Twelfth Army. You must get rid of the stupid guidelines of the General Staff. You must submit to  The Soviets learned from the fact that they relied entirely on willpower to defeat the Germans under Moscow."

    The 12th Army was originally part of the German Army Group A, but it has been in chaos since the war. The 12th Army is currently stationed in the Harz Mountains of Germany, just on the path of General Patton's advance.

    Hitler continued: "The German army must cut down the trees in the Harz Mountains to stop Patton's advance and launch guerrilla warfare there. Stop the Americans here!"

    As he spoke, Hitler used a 1:25,000 map used by company commanders to prove his point.  General Wenck tried to correct his wrong decision, but Hitler insisted: "General Wenck, I know the Harz Mountains very well, you can definitely do it." (To be continued.)519b;The trees in the Harz Mountains had to be cut down to stop Patton's advance, and guerrilla warfare was launched there.  Stop the Americans here!  "
