As the soldiers neared the Elbe River, they saw lilacs in bloom. Polowsky later said the sight of the flowers filled them with joy. Across the Elbe, the Americans spotted Soviet soldiers, who signaled for them to cross over. When the Americans reached the opposite bank, their joy turned to shock. They saw to their horror that the bank was covered with dead civilians, victims of bombing raids. A PERSONAL VOICE JOSEPH POLOWSKY “ Here we are, tremendously exhilarated, and there’s a sea of dead. [The platoon leader] was much moved. He said, ‘Joe, let’s make a resolution with these Russians here and also the ones on the bank: this would be an important day in the lives of the two countries.’ . It was a solemn moment. There were tears in the eyes of most of us. We embraced. We swore never to forget.” —quoted in The Good War ▼ American and Soviet The Soviet and U.S.
