The Army Group Vistula (also known as Army Group Weischel) was formed in 1945 to protect Berlin from the advancing Soviet armies marching from the Vistula river.
General Gotthard Heinrici replaced Heinrich Himmler as commander of Army Group Vistula on March 20. The Group, under the command of Heinrici fought through the Battle of Berlin, with some elements not surrending until the end of the war in Europe on May 8 1945. Its strength was of about 500,000, generally poorly equipped.
