Today marks the 80th anniversary of the Red Army’s capture of Glogow, a city in Lower Silesia, following a weeks-long siege that started in mid-February.

The same day, Soviet forces seized Senec, which is only 20 kilometers from Bratislava, and Sopron, a crucial transportation center on the route to Vienna. 352 settlements were freed in all.

Winston Churchill, the British prime minister, was also concerned that US forces were concentrating on destroying the Ruhr region [end]
