   In those areas that the Red Army had captured and before the fighting in the   
   centre of the city had stopped, the Soviet authorities took measures to start   
   restoring essential services. Almost all transport in and out of the city had   
   been rendered    
   inoperative, and bombed-out sewers had contaminated the city's water supplies.   
   The Soviet authorities appointed local Germans to head each city block, and   
   organised the cleaning-up. The Red Army made a major effort to feed the   
   residents of the city. Most    
   Germans, both soldiers and civilians, were grateful to receive food issued at   
   Red Army soup kitchens, which began on Colonel-General Berzarin's orders.   
   After the capitulation the Soviets went house to house, arresting and   
   imprisoning anyone in a uniform    
   including firemen and railwaymen.
