During the battle of Berlin the General of the 12th Army, Walther Wenck realised that the Red Army was closing in and so was the demise of his soldiers. Instead of holding his post and fighting the incoming Soviets as his orders were, he instead used his Army to create a "escape-corridor" to get himself out of Berlin.
For this he'd surely be sentenced to death for treason, however in doing this he saved the life of up to 250,000 Germans by safely escorting them out of the burning city.
@TheSupervisor Walther didn't order his army to fight to make a "corridor" to get himself out, he did it specifically to safe the people who lived in Berlin at that moment, as is said in the song he called it a rescue operation not a battle
