    First, the Soviets were able to take Berlin, and they also believed that they could take it alone. Ability and willingness, this is the premise of the premise. If the French could take Berlin on their own, would you ask de Gaulle if he would like to share it?

    If the Chinese can take Tokyo on their own, would you like to share it with the Americans? You! Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov!

    And you! Ivan Stepanovich Konev! What's wrong with you two?

    How would such an idea be proposed? Have you forgotten?! How many Red Army soldiers fell on the way to Berlin for the arrival of this day!

    How many difficult years we've had for this! Now that Berlin is at hand, the great Soviet Red Army is about to realize its desire to destroy the fascist nest, why do you have such thoughts? Were you frightened by the fascist bandits?

    Do you want to share with others the honor of conquering Berlin and completely exterminating the Nazis?! <

    Because in a country that advocates individualism, human life is more valuable, and in a country that advocates collectivism, honor is more valuable.

    The Soviet Union, from soldiers to generals, was holding back their strength to take Germany and avenge tens of millions of compatriots in the motherland! That kind of lifeless momentum frightened the later German soldiers.

    Berlin symbolized the defeat of Germany, so every country in the Allied forces wanted to fight Berlin, the Soviet army moved relatively quickly, and the United States later let the Soviet army fight first. Who captured Berlin was important for the post-war division of interests in Germany.

    This was agreed upon by the Allies. The Soviets had been beaten badly by the Germans and were desperate for compensation, and the Allies considered it again and agreed that the Soviets would attack Berlin alone, but Berlin would have to be occupied by the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union.

    1.Berlin was the heart of German fascism and was not so easy to conquer. Berlin's defense was very strong, and the Soviet Union was advanced, and of course the Soviet Union suffered the most.

    2.The Soviet Union was not under Allied command, and even if there was no agreement to attack Berlin, the Soviet Union would have sent troops to attack Berlin. There are many reasons, one is to compete for superiority with the West in the future, the second is for Stalin's merits, and the third is because the conquest of Germany can give the Soviet Union a great advantage, although many people will die, but what is taken from Germany is enough to make Stalin happy.

    3.The United States had an agreement with the USSR, and Berlin divided it half. Zhukov was the first to conquer Berlin, the fascist army had turned into a remnant, which was easy to solve for the West, and the remnants of Germany without a leader, without morale, without a leader, of course easy to solve for the Allies.

    However, Zhukov did not know that if he took the whole of Berlin, then the Soviet Union would have a lot of benefits.

    As we all know, in World War II, it was the Soviet Red Army that first captured Berlin, and the Soviet Red Army planted its flag on the Reichstag in Berlin, but the Soviet Union sacrificed the lives of about 200,000 soldiers for this.

    Among the many Allied forces such as the American Army, the British Army, why was the Soviet Union the first to capture Berlin? Berlin was the last bastion of Nazi Germany and Hitler. Whether Berlin is lost or not can be said to be the last line of defense of the Nazis. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Nazi German troops were defending Berlin.

    General Patton of the American Army, Montgomery of the British Army, and the Soviet Red Army all thought that their troops would be the first to capture Berlin, but in the end, Eisenhower tried to disagree with the public, and the British and American allies chose not to move, because the capture of Berlin, especially the street fighting, would cause heavy losses to their own side. Thus, the Soviet Red Army attacked Berlin first, and history has shown how wise Eisenhower's decision was.

    Eisenhower.

    The Soviet Red Army sacrificed the lives of more than 200,000 soldiers in order to capture Berlin, which means that one out of every five Soviet Red Army soldiers who attacked Berlin had to pay with their lives.

    Soviet Red Army. On the other hand, it can also be seen that the Anglo-American allies are black, allowing the Soviet Red Army to fight a decisive battle with the Nazi German army, which can weaken the military strength of the Soviet Red Army and the Allies take advantage of the fisherman.

    Hello, it was the Soviet Red Army that invaded Berlin, Germany, which was also strongly requested by the Soviet Union and the United States, and the United States was also worried that the attack on Berlin was too big, so it agreed to the request of the Soviet Union, and finally the Soviet Union conquered Berlin at the cost of 80,000 killed and 270,000 wounded.

    It's hard to say, but I suggest a different proposition, that is, if the Soviet Union existed, but was defeated and occupied by Germany in a short period of time (just as France was occupied by Germany), would the US-British coalition be able to defeat Germany?

    First of all, the Soviet Union was rich in land and resources, and Germany could obtain important strategic material supplies and organize a large number of puppet troops to participate in the battle, so that the combat effectiveness of the German army would increase exponentially.

    Second, strategically, after the defeat of the Soviet Union, Japan and Germany achieved strategic docking, and the Axis powers were connected, and their territory and power would definitely not be weaker than Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire, and the combined forces of Japan and Germany would greatly exceed those of the Allies, and even the United States itself would not escape the occupation of the Axis powers.

    Third, without the fetters of the Soviet Union, Germany can completely free up its hands to clean up Britain, and the comparison of the comprehensive strength of the two countries shows that the probability of Britain winning is pitiful, and without British resistance, the European continent will completely become German territory!

    In the end, without Britain, Africa may be in the hands of Germany, followed by the Middle East, and it is unknown who will die in the end between the United States and Germany!

    The most likely one is a draw.

    Britain and the United States were both powerful sea powers, and Germany was a second-rate navy at that time. The few capital ships could only be used for hide-and-seek guerrillas, and they were all broken in the end. In the early days of the war, great results were achieved, but with the improvement of radar technology and escort tactics of the British and American armies, they basically did not play a role.

    And North Africa and other battlefields cannot survive without the support of equipment delivered by the navy.

    However, I think that if the Soviet Union did not contain the main force of the German army, it would be difficult for Britain and the United States to fight back to the European continent, and the quality and tactics of Germany's armored forces are very advanced.

    One can't score, and the other can't score. So if there was no Soviet Union, the most likely outcome would be for Germany to negotiate with Britain and the United States, and to rule by drawing the English Channel.

    No, the Soviet Union's population and strategic depth consumed a large amount of Germany's vital forces, and with Germany's scientific and technological level at that time, it was far ahead of the rest of the countries, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union could be said to exchange quantity for quality, and without the participation of the Soviet Union, Britain would never be Germany's opponent, and the United States was too far away to lose Britain as an advance base, and it was even more unable to defeat Germany.

    No, the Soviet Union was holding back most of Germany's forces, and a battle for Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad left Germany demoralized. Without the Soviet Union, the US-British coalition would not have been able to defeat the German army.

    After World War II, Germany and Berlin were divided into four regions by the Soviet Union, the United States, Great Britain and France. (This is the post-war spoils, Berlin was defeated by your Soviet Union, but without the containment of our allies, the German troops on the Western Front returned to help, can you be defeated by the Soviet Union?) , so, Berlin we also have credit, to get a piece of the pie)

    In 1949, the Soviet occupation zone including East Berlin was established as the German Democratic Republic (GDR or GDR), with its capital in East Berlin, while the US-British-French occupation zone was established as the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany or the Federal Republic of Germany) with its capital in Bonn until the reunification of the two Germanys.

    The American-British-French-Soviet occupation agreement guaranteed an air corridor between West Germany and West Berlin. West Berlin is stipulated in West German law and the West Berlin Basic Law is the territory of West Germany, because the territory of West Berlin is completely in East Germany, the Soviet Union in order to force West Germany to abandon West Berlin, forced West Berlin to cut off water and food, this move made Western countries united, multiple flights a day to transport supplies from West Germany to West Berlin, the establishment of NATO in April 1949, and the Soviet Union lifted the blockade in May 1949. However, the United States, Britain and France postponed the implementation of the regulations because they believed that they were in conflict with the status quo, so West Berlin remained not part of West Germany until the end of the Cold War and the reunification of the two Germanys. Initially, Berliners were able to move freely between districts, but as Cold War tensions grew, the border between East and West Berlin began to be closed in 1952 in order to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Germany and causing a severe shortage of workers in East Germany.

    Between 1949 and 1961, some 2.5 million East Germans fled to West Berlin at the risk of being shot by East German border guards. But the good thing is that even then, neither the GDR nor the Soviet Union took West Berlin with arms.

    Of course entered. According to the agreement, the USSR strongly demanded remuneration.

    Undertaking the task of attacking Berlin alone, the Allied forces on the Western Front and the Soviet army met at the Elbe, forming a situation of dividing and occupying Germany, and the Allied forces occupied Berlin among the four countries. Therefore, after the Soviet Union captured Berlin, the United States, France, and Great Britain entered their own areas according to the agreement to complete the occupation of Berlin.

    When the Soviet Union attacked Berlin, it had an absolute advantage, why did it still have **400,000?

    In April 1945, when Germany was at the end of its power, Soviet troops marched into Berlin. At that time, the Soviet side concentrated 270 divisions, 20 tank corps and 15 air force units, and the German side had only 1 million old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. The Soviet Union had an absolute advantage, why would it be **400,000?

    In addition to its large numbers, the Soviet Union also mobilized 2,000 aircraft, 10,000 artillery pieces, and 2,000 tanks. On the German side, 500 tanks, more than 300 aircraft, 700 artillery pieces. The difference in strength between the two sides can be whether the Soviet Union will pay a great price in order to take Berlin.

    It's just that the USSR was too anxious at that time.

    In addition to the Soviet Union, the Anglo-American coalition aimed at Berlin, and in order to plant the Soviet flag in Berlin first, the Soviet army attacked the German army at all costs. There is another reason, Berlin's defense capability is very good, Berlin is, after all, the capital of Germany, and the level of protection is naturally upgraded to the highest. Moreover, in order to protect their capital, the German army also caused the most stubborn resistance.

    Before the war began, German Field Marshal Keitel had laid out Berlin as an impregnable fortress. Berlin was divided into 9 defensive zones. A number of firing ports were added in each area, and a large number of underground works were constructed.

    From the road to the road, Berlin at that time was full of soldiers, and the people also picked up guns in order to protect their homes, of course, many people were forced to enter the army, in short, the Soviet army encountered a lot of resistance.

    After the Soviets entered Berlin, they continued to shoot at them everywhere. It can be said that the Soviet army finally fought this battle for half a month before the Soviet army finally planted its flag in the Berlin Reichstag and won the final victory.

    World War II ended with the Allies advancing into Berlin, the capital of Germany, Hitler committed suicide by drinking bullets, and fascism was declared bankrupt, so how to divide Germany? This became the top priority of the Allies, and the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France held a meeting after the Normandy landings, and the conference also established the major event of the joint partition and transformation of Germany by the four powers.

    In fact, the turning point of World War II was the defeat of the German army on the Eastern Front and the defeat of the British and American troops on the Western Front and began to enter a strategic turning point, assuming that if there was a line of German troops on the east and west fronts that ended in victory, then German fascism could definitely be rampant for a few years, but unfortunately, the big countries represented by the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France, under the huge logistical supply capacity, burst out with huge military potential, and under the layers of attack, Germany could not resist the pressure of the Quartet, and finally collapsed.

    And the Battle of Berlin was the last battle, and the two great powers, the Soviet Union and the United States, began a disguised military occupation. What is called military occupation in disguise, in fact, whoever enters Berlin first, who can control more German territory, this is a kind of vague four-nation compromise, so the United States and the Soviet Union desperately fought to Berlin, originally the German army still had hundreds of thousands of people, but in the face of millions of Allied troops, it could not support it soon, and it was quickly defeated by the defense line.

    The Soviets pulled the equipment, and the Americans looted German scientific and technological talents.

    The Germans and the Allies switched from fighting each other in Berlin to street fighting, and finally the Soviet Union took the lead in occupying the eastern part of Berlin. What did the Soviets do after they occupied large areas of Berlin? The Soviet Union directly sent troops to loot the property of the Germans and industrial machinery and equipment, and moved them to the Soviet Union one by one.

    Almost all of the small pieces were taken away by the Soviet Union, and the large ones were also dismantled by the Soviet Union in several parts and taken away in batches. In this way, the Soviet Union stole all the industrial and technological achievements that Germany had worked so hard for decades.

    After the US troops arrived in Berlin, they did not take a fancy to these equipment, and many US troops directly threw all the machinery in the areas under their control to the Soviet Union, and many Soviet officers and soldiers thought that the Americans were not bad-hearted; However, the US military is not stupid, Roosevelt directly ordered to wantonly envelop and search for German technicians and scientific and technological personnel, and even the German scientific and technological personnel on the Soviet side were exchanged by the United States for various reasons, and the United States said that it wanted to punish these leaders of scientific and technological crimes in the name of the United States.

    The United States is good at German scientific and technological talents.

    The U.S. military drove to the ship, and all the high-level scientific and technological personnel of the German army were imprisoned, and when these talents boarded the U.S. military ** in frustration, the U.S. military immediately untied them, and everyone set aside a room to rest, and also sent a change of clothes and food, these actions made the German scientists scratch their heads, what did the U.S. military want to do? If you want to kill and kill quickly, why bother to behave.

No, although the Soviet Union was strong in World War II, Germany was not weak, and a big reason for Germany's defeat in the Soviet Union was that the German army did not understand the weather in the Soviet Union and had no experience in fighting in that weather, which gave the Soviet Union a chance.
