in the area of ​​the village of Halbe between April 24 and 28, 1945.

the 1st Ukrainian Front closed the ring around the German 9th Army about 60 km 
south of Berlin, followed by several attempts to break out against the Soviet troops

On April 27, hardly any remnants of German troops and civilians fleeing west 
were trapped by Soviet troops in a small forest area between Buchholz and Halbe. 
Only a relief attack by the 12th Army from the area south of Potsdam enabled the 
escape to the west. 
So that large parts reached the German front near Beelitz on May 1st.
