Red Flag over Berlin – 2nd May 1945
2 nd May 1945, the day the Soviet Red Army completely defeated the Nazi Germany Army and hoisted the Red Flag over Berlin. More than 50000 German soldiers were killed in the battle which continued for days. Practically that was the end of the II World War which started by the Nazi Germmany attacking Austria and then other countries of Europe. Italy headed by Fascist Mussolini and Japan with Tojo at its head, together thought that they can bring the world under their control. On the other side was the allied forces of USSR, US and Britain. The war continued in almost all continents, causing loss of more than two crore lives, both soldiers and common people. Lakhs of Indian soldiers in British army were also killed.
The Nazi army captured almost all countries of Europe and moved eastwards to Soviet Union and captured many cities and was on the way to Moscow. The soviets, both military and people, fought inch by inch and at last started pushing the so far undefeated Nazi army back till Berlin and captured Berlin. It was a herculean task which the western countries never thought will be able to do.
Today is the 79th anniversary of that great victory of the Soviet Red Army which saved the world from Nazism and Fascism.
Red Salute to the Soviet Red Army!

The German Chancellor Angela Merkel has proposed that the retirement age be reduced from 67 to 63 years which will benefit the workers. The pension system is also reported to be reformed which may cost the government more.
It is to be noted that sustained agitations are continuing in the Euro countries against the austerity measures imposed on the workers and pensioners by the governments. The present decision may be as a result of the agitation.

It is almost seven decades after the worst war in history, the II World War, is over. After the defeat of the Germany-Japan-Italy axis forces by the Allied forces under USSR-Britain-US, the war ended. United Nations and a number of international organisations were formed to ensure peace and against another world war.
There is still no authentic account of the armed forces as also civilian population that perished in the II World War. Entire countries were devastated. The Nazi war machinery destroyed everything in its way, looted, and laid bare the landscapes till it was stopped by the USSR.
Even after seven decades, fresh news come about the II World War.Two reports have come in the last few days. one, an 1,800 ton unexploded bomb was found in Dormond a city in Germany. All the 20,000 and more people within 1.5 sq.km was evacuated and the bomb deactivated.
Another news is about the finding of thousands of antiques, paintings of great masters including that of Picasso and Matisse which the German invaders have looted from the lands they have conquered. It was all kept in a darkened secluded room by one octogenarian and were being sold when money was needed.

II World War completely the changed the world in all respects. But the price the humanity had to pay for the same was unimaginable. There should never be such another war!
