The German Antifascist Federation, along with other attendees including political figures, gathered at the Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park, Berlin on Sunday, to mark Victory Day and the end of WWII.
People laid flowers at the Motherland statue, while representatives from Germany's Die Linke Party and from the Belarusian embassy addressed the crowd. The event also included a presentation by the Ernst-Busch Choir. The event took part on the eve of the official Victory Day 2016 celebrations.
Taking place on May 9, the day commemorates the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union at the end of Second World War, known in the Soviet Union as the Great Patriotic War, following the signing of the surrender document by Nazi Field-Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, which submitted the capitulation of the Wehrmacht to Marshal Georgy Zhukov in the Soviet Army headquarters in Berlin-Karlshorst. To commemorate the victory in the war, the first ceremonial Moscow Victory Parade was held in the Soviet capital on 24 June 1945.
