The Prague Offensive (Russian: Пражская стратегическая наступательная операция "Prague Strategic Offensive") was the last major Soviet operation of World War II in Europe. The offensive, and the battle for Prague, was fought on the Eastern Front from 6 May to 11 May 1945. This battle for the city is particularly noteworthy in that it ended after the Third Reich capitulated on 8 May 1945. This battle is also noteworthy in that it was fought concurrently with the Prague Uprising.

The city of Prague was ultimately liberated by the USSR during the Prague Offensive. All of the German troops of Army Group Centre (Heeresgruppe Mitte) were killed or captured.[2] The capitulation of Army Group Centre was nine days after the fall of Berlin and three days after Victory in Europe Day.

Liberation Route Europe follows the advance of the Western Allied Forces during the final stage of WW II. So the last city to be liberated by the West was Berlin, the last city liberated by the Soviets was Prague.
