If, in context with the obliteration of hundreds of thousands only a short time before, the killings of a relative handful of people can be notable, doesn't that mean things are looking up?
To be honest, it's hard to have much sympathy for former Einsatzgruppen members or death camp guards, although the fact that the Allied authorities still punished the officer responsible, even perfunctorily, does them much credit, I would say.
Walter Cronkite and Bob Hope? That's the thing about history - the tragedy and the farce come thoroughly intermingled...

Good to see that the Allied military authorities are coming down hard on summary justice in the East in contrast to what happened IOTL.
Loved the Cronkite cameo!!!

1. To have a Return to Russian Nationalism would require actual living Russians, of which there are precious few.
2. There is no counterweight to the Allies. My guess, the Allies = 75% of global economy.

Now that the Reich is finished, will we see mass exoduses of freed slave laborers going back to wherever they originally came from?
That might be a moderate population boost for what's left of the USSR. Moderate being single-digit millions at best.
Also, you mentioned something that would be "controversial to this day" re: anthraxed areas where German troops still held out. However, nothing happened in this update re: this.
I'm assuming those pockets are in Germany proper and especially Berlin. Will we be getting to them next week?

Berlin and the other"No Go" areas remain in Nazi hands.
They will be addressed in the next update (probably).
Finally! Things are looking up(ish). Here's hoping German forces in the west will surrender soon and save some lives.

I couldn't help but think that this update was decidedly less depressing than what I'm used to with this TL.
I doubt it; as your post indicates, that already had a perfectly good German name. Just some little village out in the middle of nowhere (well, as nowhere as northern Poland gets). Note that the scale of the settlement described is much too small to be Danzig (you couldn't possibly use 20 guys to patrol the entire border of that city)
good update, the Nazis in the East have surrender, do now i hope that the Nazis in the west gain sense and also surrender. To avoid fruther lost of lives
