244. The Soviets arrive in Germany

In this episode Saul speaks to Roger Moorhouse, about the first time that Soviet forces stepped foot on German home soil in East Prussia. It was also the first time German civilians came face to face with the Red Army, which turned its fury and vengeance on them in particularly horrible ways as millions fled westward.
