200,000 Nazis were trapped in Riga when the Red Army approached from the east, but Hitler refused to let them evacuate or surrender. They were eventually pushed down to the Courland Peninsula, where they remained until the end of the war. When the Courland Pocket was cut off in October 1944, Hitler refused multiple requests to evacuate the troops by sea. The German Navy (Kriegsmarine) had the capability to transport them to East Prussia, but Hitler insisted they hold Courland " as a fortress. " Between October 1944 and May 1945, the Red Army launched six offensives to destroy the pocket, but the Germans held out. When Germany finally surrendered on May 8, 1945, around 180,000–200,000 soldiers of Army Group Courland laid down their arms. They were taken prisoner by the Soviets; most were deported to labor camps in the USSR, and many never returned. Only a small number of wounded or essential personnel had been evacuated by ship earlier across the Baltic Sea to Germany.

Joseph Goebbels giving medals to the soldiers after the battle of Lauban , March 1945. The Battle of Lauban (February 1945) was a late World War II clash in Lower Silesia where the Red Army captured the town during its advance toward Berlin, only to be hit by a sharp German armored counterattack that temporarily retook Lauban and inflicted heavy losses on parts of the 3rd Guards Tank Army. It was one of the last tactically successful German counteroffensive, heavily publicized by Nazi propaganda, but it had no real strategic impact because the Red Army quickly regrouped and resumed its advance, recapturing the area a few weeks later.

On May 8, 1945 — 80 years ago — Nazi Germany officially surrendered to Allied forces, marking the end of World War II in Europe. Today, German schoolchildren visit concentration camps to learn of the Holocaust, and there are Nazi documentation centers in cities across Germany. It's all part of an educational program to teach how fascism took hold there, and how it led to some of the worst horrors in history. The message: It’s easier to lose your democracy than to regain it.

Kasparov: Russia losing this war won't look like 1945 with flags over Berlin. It will look like 1918. Germany surrendered with its own troops still inside France and Belgium, the state simply ran out of ability to fight. For Russia, that moment is a flag over Sevastopol. 1/
