Stalin wanted to secure the city and control its rebuilding. Capturing Berlin ahead of the other Allies would allow the Soviet Union to assert its influence over the city and the surrounding region in post-war Europe, ensuring that it played a central role in the political and ideological reshaping of Germany and Eastern Europe following the war.
