The Soviet Union, in union with the other Allied forces on the Western Front's attemps, attempted to finally crush the German Nazi regime by assaulting, invading, and conquering the German capital and Nazi headquarters, Berlin.
The actual battle for the psychical city itself began on April 21, 1945 with the Soviets unleashing shells on the city. However, the Soviets had been battling their way through the last lines of German defence on the out-skirts of the city since many days before. The Soviets had been fighting for encirclement of the city. They succeeded.
The offensive ended on the night of May 2nd, with the commanders surrendering the cities and all armed forces. With Mussolini killed by Soviet Army, and Hitler having just committed suicide, the surrender in Berlin acted as a trigger that carried out through the next few days military surrenders from the Germans.
