It’s a slight tangent, but the battle of Berlin was an absolute humanitarian disaster. The number of deaths was incredible. The US suffered approximately 400,000 dead in the war, and the UK (including colonies) was a similar number. The final assault on Berlin cost 80,000 Russian lives and 100,000 German. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Berlin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Berlin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#:~:text=Civilian%20deaths%20totaled%2050–55,5%20million%20prisoners%20of%20war https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#:~:t....
