1945 Soviets capture Warsaw
On this day, Soviet troops liberate the Polish capital from German
occupation. Gen. Georgi Zhukov's troops crossed the Vistula north and south
of the Polish capital, liberating the city from Germans-and grabbing it for
the USSR. By that time, Warsaw's prewar population of approximately 1.3
million had been reduced to a mere 153,000.
