Trans-siberian railroad
The Russians pushed from the East. The Allies pushed from the North and South.
After the Nazi invasion of Russia failed,the Russians launched a massive counterattack. While the German Army was being pushed back to Germany the Americans and British launched the D-Day Invasion crossing the English Channel from Britain and landing on the beaches of the French coast. As these forces fought their way inland across France, the Russians were coming from the East,so Germany found itself being closed-in on from both sides. The Russians were the only Army which actually captured and occupied Berlin. The American and British Armies were ordered to stop their advance at a certain point and allow the Russians to take Berlin alone (politics at work even in wartime).
The Western Allies were able to reach Berlin at about the same time that the Soviets (Russians) did. Had the landing not been successful, the Russians (Soviets) may have taken the German Capital all by themselves. In which case, there might never have been a EAST and WEST Germany during the cold war.
