Some time between April 16th and April 19th, Private Dimarkurato gets stationed on the outskirts of the city and is placed under command of Captain Grigorev, who has currently got the city under siege with a row of ML-20s. The Germans set up artillery positions on the outskirts of the city, resulting in the Red Army destroying them while being assaulted by two Panzer III. Dimarkurato is then ordered to search trenches for a missing scouting party that is under threat from a tank. Dimarkurato then pushes towards the city outskirts, and takes part in a battle on a bridge.
Later, Dimarkurato clears out a few buildings before meeting up with Sergeant Petrov. He briefs Dimarkurato on his plan to flank two snipers who have the street covered and neutralize them, followed up with the destruction of an MG42 nest to the east with a grenade. Afterwards, Dimarkurato assists with clearing the area before regrouping with a tank column. One tank crewman attempts to desert the battle resulting in his death, allowing Dimarkurato to take his spot on a T-34 tank and helping his unit push to the edge of the city.
Inside Seelow, Dimarkurato is assisted by Captain Grigorev and Captain Kovalenko in eventually capturing the city, on the way to Berlin.
