==Characters==
*Sergeant Alexei Ivanovich Voronin (Playable)
*Major P. K. Grishin (Mentioned Only)
==Plot==
For the final assault on the Reichstag, Major P. K. Grishin's orders of the day to the 150th Rifle Division state that ever since the victory at Stalingrad, the Red Army had witnessed countless Nazi atrocities as they pushed the Germans back across the Motherland. With Berlin in ruins, the Soviet soldiers are to fight their way to the top of the Reichstag against fanatical German resistance, planting the red banner at the top and claiming total victory for the Soviet Union.
Sergeant Alexei Voronin and his men push up a rubble-filled slope, under fire from German soldiers firing from windows and inside bombed-out buildings. A FlaK 88 cannon covers the right side of the street, and Voronin has to blow it up with an explosive charge in order to allow the Soviets' T-34/85 tanks to push up in support. At an intersection ahead, a German MG42 fires down from the window of a corner building while there is another 88 cannon in the basement, with a Tiger I tank covering the street to the left and a third cannon to the right. Voronin and his men deal with the German infantry protecting these positions, then blow up the cannons and the tank with explosives. A German Panzerfaust operator on a ledge destroys one of the T-34s before he is killed. With every anti-tank position destroyed, the armored column moves up and blows a hole in a brick wall at the end of the street. 
On the other side of the wall, Sergeant Voronin and his men are just across a long causeway from the Reichstag itself. As the Soviet infantry takes cover behind walls, they come under sustained MG42 fire from the building's windows. They have to hold position, while Voronin kills the gunners with his sniper rifle, until the tanks can find a way through. Finally, T-34s emerge from the streets to the left and right, firing their cannons and machine guns at the building. When a soldier calls, "Forward!" Voronin leads the charge over the causeway to the Reichstag entrance. Pushing inside, the Soviets clear a hallway and move into the parliament floor, where they clear the seats and galleries of German defenders. Exiting the other way, Voronin and his men climb a hill of rubble up to the rooftop. After killing the very last defenders, they emerge onto the very top of the building, looking out over the destroyed city while one of the Soviet soldiers waves the victory banner over the top, cementing the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany. 
In a cutscene, Alexei Voronin narrates a letter home to his mother while historical footage plays. He tells her that after waving the flag over the Reichstag in Berlin, the war is coming to a close and he will return home soon. The last German resistance is almost gone, and enemy prisoners of war fill the streets. A few days after the capture of the Reichstag, he crossed the Elbe River in Germany and met up with American forces moving in from the west. In spite of the language barrier, he and an American soldier had a heartfelt meeting where felt a sense of brotherhood and camaraderie.

==Trivia==
*The reference for this mission came from a re-enactment of the Battle of Berlin in 2002, according to the credits.
*After the tanks destroy the MG42s, head through the platform with the damaged tanks. There is a hidden FG42 near a ruined building; however the FG42 does not have a lot of ammo in reserve.
*Once the Flak 88's and the Tiger tank have been destroyed a German with a Panzerfaust will try and destroy a T-34 tank, even if the player kills him the tank will always blow up.
*The T34 that shoots a hole into the wall will actually blow a hole in the wall even if it's not facing the wall (Sometimes it can destroy a friendly tank) 
*Many of the soldiers in the level are not randomly generated and will always look the same.
*The last two troops are both Waffen-SS and will never be anything else.
