Race to Berlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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. General Dwight Eisenhower was unable to reach Berlin first, due to the failure of Operation Market Garden, which forced a further delay in troop movements.
[edit] Popular culture
In 2006, a video game of this name was developed using this as the storyline.
