The Battle of Berlin was a warlike confrontation between Soviet and German troops that took place in 1945, in the capital of Nazi Germany. This began on April 16 and ended on May 2, after the Germans surrendered to the armies of the Soviet Union.
Thus, it was the last great military action in Europe during World War II.
Germany lacked the means to stop the Soviet attack. However, the German leader Adolf Hitler refused to surrender. This decision led him to suicide and caused the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers on both sides.
