BTW, the Russian soldiers allowed to “spontaneously” meet the Americans were hand-picked and heavily vetted by the NKVD for reliability before the meet-up happened.

#3

Really why was that ?
They would of met side by side in battle closing in on Berlin though right?

#4

Because the NKVD did not want people who would either run away, give secrets to the US, or bring back stories about how good American equipment was (this could get you sent to GULAG after the war under Section 58 ).

The meeting was arranged on the Elbe in the full view of the world’s press and was precisely stage-managed. There was an unofficial meeting when some Americans crossed the Elba earlier and ended up fighting against the Russians (who opened fire on them) for a few days. This was, of course, covered up at the time. The story of this was recounted on a history programme on Discovery, but I think it’s also in Hastings’s Armageddon.

The Soviet Union and U.S.A were very fragile allies, i knew there was an incident involving some Russians and Americans to open fire on each other.
