A TL For This Photo

Make a timeline for this 'photograph', or anything else that comes to mind. Perceptions, ideas, criticisms, dates, beliefs, anything will be good. The original photo is one of the Soviet's raising the hammer and sickles over Berlin, 1945. The photo is still in Berlin, the date is up to debate.
NOTE: The hat dosen't mean it's WW1.

I guess this is obviously a TL where Texas is independant; perhaps they get involved in the Second World War, joining some sort of 'American Alliance' with the USA?
