In late April 1945 Soviet forces began their assault on Berlin capturing the city on May 2, 1945. As part of the operations JS-2 Heavy tanks were called in whenever Soviet forces needed a German tank or building destroyed. The use of HE (High Explosive) incendiary ammunition made the JS-2 very deadly. Regular Guard units had 3 regiments of 65 JS-2s per regiment but the Independent Guard units had far fewer. The 88th Independent Guards Heavy Tank Brigade was part of the 1st Belorussian Front.
