No. They surrendered because Hitler shot himself as Berlin was being captured by Russian forces.
While the United States certainly contributed to the 'daily mail', it was Britain, not us, that destroyed most of the German factories. Most of them were destroyed in a single raid by British planes. They even made a movie about that raid (very popular in Britain!) and how that special bomb was developed.
Berlin was able to be captured because we bombed their factories.
