 The 8th Guards Army and the 1st Guards Tank Army were ordered to take Belle-Alliance-Platz (Belle-Alliance being an alternative name for the Battle of Waterloo) that in a twist of history was defended by French SS soldiers of "Sturmbataillon" "Charlemagne" attached to the "Nordland" Division.That night Weidling gave a battle situation report to Hitler, and presented him with a detailed breakout plan which would be spearheaded with just under forty tanks (all the combat-ready German tanks available in Berlin).Hitler rejected the plan, saying he would stay in the bunker and that Weidling would carry on with the defence.
