Interview with Theodor von Dufving: http://www.veoh.com/watch/v18931566JTxEkzpD

Unattributed text[edit]

The highest-ranking Soviet officer crossed to the German side of the bridge, and Dufving saluted and reported to him. The Soviet officer spoke to Dufving for a moment and then returned to the other side of the canal, where about two dozen Soviet soldiers with submachine guns were waiting, with several American-made jeeps. The column of Germans crossed the bridge, walking upright and in single file. The Soviet soldiers all had big grins on their faces, and one Soviet soldier said "Hitler kaputt" to the German prisoners, while the other Soviet soldiers all laughed.
