After many days of hand to hand combat in Berlin and the suicide of Hitler and his second in command, the day for the unconditionally surrender of Germany came. On May 2, 1945, General Zhukov, the Soviet in command of the forces that took Berlin, accepted the German surrender. In the days immediately before and after May 2, the Soviets took 2,000 prisoners. Stalin was now more concerned with gaining as much land as possible and moved his forces towards the Czechoslovakian capital of Prague. After a few days the capital fell into Stalin’s hands and it quickly turned Communist. The War in Europe ended officially on May 8, 1945 with the surrender of the Northern German Army to the Allies.=====
