Race to Berlin
The Race to Berlin refers to the competition of Allied generals during the final months of World War II to enter Berlin first.
Soviet general Georgy Zhukov was the general to have soldiers in Berlin first.
It was possible for American General Dwight Eisenhower to take Berlin first, but he did not do so for political reasons. He did not think it would be appropriate to lose American soldiers to take a city which would be in the Soviet zone of Germany after the war anyway.
