The Battle of Berlin, or the Fall of Berlin, was one of the last major offensives in the European theater of World War II.
At the beginning of 1945, the Soviet army approached the city of Berlin. The German army began to formulate a plan to defend Berlin. The Soviet army launched an offensive on April 16. The three front armies attacked together and completed the encirclement of Berlin.
On April 30, Hitler committed suicide, and several of his confidants and senior generals who accompanied him also committed suicide shortly thereafter. The Berlin defenders surrendered on May 2. Since then, the fate of the Third Reich has come to an end, and the European war in World War II has basically come to an end.
