Norm, many units fought in Berlin, but I think the only units that really get credit for "storming" the Reichstag were in the 3 Shock Army's 79 Rifle Corps, most specifically the 150 RD which planted the Red Banner in the photo. The other units in that corps were the 171 and 207 RDs.
Maybe our German subscribers could help with Kallen Station. |
