When the Soviets and the Allies surrounded Berlin in April 1945, it marked the final stages of World War II in Europe. The Red Army launched a massive offensive, leading to intense urban combat as they encircled the city. By May 2, 1945, Berlin fell to the Soviets, resulting in Adolf Hitler's suicide on April 30 and the unconditional surrender of German forces shortly afterward on May 8, 1945. This pivotal moment effectively ended the war in Europe and led to the division of Germany and the onset of the Cold War.
