German soldiers march to the east by the Government House.



Soon planted a flag on the coat of arms of the SS.

Barber shop on the steps of Government House. Photographed by Walter Frentzen (Hitler's official photographer) in August 1941, accompanying Himmler.



Then the Soviet coat of arms on the building draped cloth, and then replaced with a new coat of arms. Please note that the SS flag fluttering on the flagpole, then just hangs over the old Soviet coat of arms. Rumor has it that he was hung for the arrival of Himmler, but I still can not understand why he is on the flagpole, then just like that.



Shortly after the invasion (but replace the coat of arms) Speel monument to Lenin and his remains will be photographed. Here Lenin still stands.



But he has already fallen. The exact date of the demolition of the monument is unknown. But, judging by the fact that the swastika at Government House is not yet hung, it happened in July. At least, during a visit by Himmler in Minsk August 15, 1941, Lenin on the square is no longer standing. Curious Fritz visiting deposed leader.
