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).
