Was Reinhard Heydrich body removed and destroyed from the cemetery he was buried by Red Army troops when they captured Berlin?

No, it was not. By the time the Russians captured Berlin the Nazis still had not gotten around to erecting a headstone on the grave. There only was a wooden marker which the Russians did not recognize and which got lost. As a result, Heydrich is still buried somewhere in Berlin's "Invaliden"-cemetary, but no-one knows where exactly.

Who won the race to get to Berlin WW2?

The race to Berlin during World War II was primarily between the Soviet Red Army and the German forces. The Soviets, led by Marshal Georgy Zhukov, successfully captured Berlin in May 1945, effectively ending the war in Europe. The Red Army's advance from the east outpaced the Western Allies, who were advancing from the west but did not reach Berlin until after the city's fall. The capture of Berlin marked a significant turning point, leading to the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.

Did the us invade Berlin in 1945?

Nope. Only Soviet Red Army and, to a much more lesser extent, Polish, took down and captured the citadel of Nazism. The sole credit belongs to Russia. The western allies haven't participated in this. American, British and French zones of occupation were added later, after Potsdam conference and partition of Berlin onto four parts.
