Berlin was reached by the Russians first in WW2. Russian & US forces came together on the river Elbe. There was much distrust between the Allies at this time, which led to become the 'Cold War'.

What troops entered Berlin first at the close of World War 2?

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.
