Nope. Only Soviet Red Army and, to a much more lesser extent, Polish, took down and captured the citadel of Nazism. The sole credit belongs to Russia. The western allies haven't participated in this. American, British and French zones of occupation were added later, after Potsdam conference and partition of Berlin onto four parts.
In 1945, when the Allied forces (from the waest) and the Soviet Red Army (from the east) were advancing towards Berlin.

The Soviet Army had surrounded the city and overtaken the German defense.
During WW2, yes! American and British (and later also French) troops were admitted to West Berlin by the Sovier Union in July 1945.
Allied bombs pretty well destroyed the major cities of Germany and the allied forces were advancing on Berlin. Hitler was in hiding in his Berlin bunker and the Nazi were loosing ground as the allies moved up through France into Italy and into Germany. They were loosing the war.
It started in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland (not when Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1942!) and ended in 1945 when Berlin, the capital of Germany, was captured.
