Soviet troops. Over 2.5 million assaulted the city. The allies dicussed Berlin with the Soviets and because the Soviets fought the Germans the longest and were responsible for 60% of allied casualties it was only fair that the soviets would assault the city. Also before the assault the Soviets barraged Berlin with the largest artillery bombardment in history using 50,000 pieces of artillery.
