Was watching a historian’s speech and he was explaining the Soviets could have walked into Berlin months before the end of the war without much of a fight. Instead they decided to encircle it (forcing the German troops into the city) and take their time so as to make sure place like Sarajevo and Vienna were taken before the war ended. This maneuver cost the Soviets hundreds of thousands of casualties.
