Who won the race to get to Berlin WW2?

The race to Berlin during World War II was primarily between the Soviet Red Army and the German forces. The Soviets, led by Marshal Georgy Zhukov, successfully captured Berlin in May 1945, effectively ending the war in Europe. The Red Army's advance from the east outpaced the Western Allies, who were advancing from the west but did not reach Berlin until after the city's fall. The capture of Berlin marked a significant turning point, leading to the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.
