Reichstag is a map featured in Call to Battle 2. It it set during the capture of the Reichstag parliamentary building by Soviet forces during the Battle of Berlin on May 2nd, 1945.

Despite its lack of tactical significance, the Soviets saw the Reichstag as the heart of Nazi Germany and were keen on capturing it. There were attempts at raising the Soviet flag over the Reichstag prior to May 2nd but these attempts were repulsed by the building's defenders. It was until May 2nd when the Red Army captured the entire building that the Soviet flag was raised proper on top of the Reichstag. However, fighting continued for a little while in the building as there were still defenders hiding in the basement who launched counter-attacks.
