→Battle of Berlin
The taking of Berlin did not signify an immediate cessation of hostilities. The new German government headed by Grand Admiral [[Karl Dönitz]], which was based in the town of Flensburg in northern Germany, commanded large forces in [[Czechoslovakia]] and [[Austria]]. The Nazis still hoped to reach an agreement with the Western allies and form a united front with them against the Russians or, as a last resort, to surrender these regions to them before the approach of the Red Army.
