American and British troops begin to withdraw from the areas assigned to the Soviets, accompanied by many refugees. For Churchill, who is involved in general elections; the presence of the Soviets is a disaster for humanity. However, he was one of those responsible for having allowed it in the first place. The U.S. Second Armored Division has moved into Berlin to take over the area of the capital which is the responsibility of the American government. U.S. warplanes bomb Tokyo and other Japanese cities. Japanese government sources claim that there are no more than 200,000 people left in the Japanese capital, because the rest have fled to safer areas. They add that about five million civilians have died as a result of the incendiary bombs dropped by the Americans.
