You might find the Russian conduct in the taking of Berlin interesting. May I suggest the book ‘The Last Battle’ by Cornelius Ryan. His first two in the trilogy were the ‘Longest Day’ and a Bridge Too Far’.

You might find the conduct of the left’s Sainted Soviet Union disgusting.

I didn't read Ryan's book, but other sources (mostly periodicals) that I've read describing the fall of Berlin made the point offered by German survivors, that frontline Soviet troops, the ones with the most combat experience, were professional and businesslike. It was the troops that followed along later that did the rapes and murders.
