On Monday, April 16, 1945, at 4:00 a.m. on the First Belorussian Front, Soviet Marshal Georgi Zhukov gave the "go" signal for his troops to unleash a gigantic artillery barrage on German positions. It signaled the start of the Soviet advance to the "prize" — the German capital of Berlin. Less than a month later, Germany signed the Instrument of Surrender on May 8, and World War II in Europe was over.*
