E66 May 6, 2018
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, General Alfred Jodl and Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, are still loyal to Hitler. However, Reich Marshal Goring, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and Martin Bormann, among others, although also maintaining absolute loyalty to the Fuhrer, inspire only contempt in the majority of political and military leaders. On German soil, Soviet forces are less than one hundred kilometers from Berlin, which is a declared a "fortress city". Children, women and old people throw up barricades while the city is plastered with posters proclaiming ""Victory or Siberia." The U.S. First Army captures the town of Remscheid, to the east of Dusseldorf. On the Eastern Front, the forces under the command of Marshal Zhukov that have reached the Oder River, stop to regroup and wipe out the numerous pockets of enemy soldiers still holding out in their rear areas.
