Who was the soldier that first raised the soviet flag on the Reichstag building on the evening of April, 30 in 1945? Was it Rakhimzhan Qoshqarbaev (as is said on this page) or was it Mikhail Minin (as it is said on the Wikipedia-page about the photographer Yevgeny Khaldei, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Khaldei)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandersam (talk • contribs) 08:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
Rakhimzhan Qoshqarbaev was the first to do it. Mikhail Minin did it later on the same day. Selerian (talk) 03:23, 29 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
Was he really featured in CoD: World at War? I aimed at the flag bearer before he was killed and he had a completely different Russian name. 78.1.186.208 (talk) 11:20, 16 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
@Alexandersam: Qoshqarbaev was first to raise it at the building (in the opera hall, not the roof). First person to raise it on the roof did so at night with Qoshqarbaev nearby, and later a different group of people raise the flag with Yevgeny Khaldei. Confusing? Absolutely. Probably should have group lists in the article about the photo.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 16:01, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
