Yea, and I believe Ike knew what a clusterfuck it would have been if he crossed the Elbe and pushed on Berlin, knowing full well how many prisoners would have been heading their way. There is still debate on the Allied handling of POW's after Germany surrendered, some reports out there many prisoners died of neglect, but of course, still far better than marching east to Russia.Berlin was a bloody and savage battle because the Red Army was fighting it. At the same time German cities were surrendering to the WAllies with only minor resistance by diehard Nazis. Germans were going out of their way to surrender to the WAllies. They knew the war was over.
I do wonder if the allies considered a swap, let the USSR have Berlin if they give the state of Thuringia to the allies.Why was it necessary? What happened to Truman's foreign policy?
I think all this was agreed on beforehand.I do wonder if the allies considered a swap, let the USSR have Berlin if they give the state of Thuringia to the allies.
It was all agreed upon earlier. Stalin wanted the “glory” of taking Berlin, the WAllies were glad to let him take the casualties as well.I think all this was agreed on beforehand.

The airlift didn't supply the Russian zone, it supplied the French, British and American zones that the Soviets were trying to force the WAllies out of by a land blockade.Ruling Clowns Create a Problem, Then Pose As Magicians to Solve It
The partition of Berlin created the publicity stunt of the Berlin Airlift. Why should we care about those who supported the Nazis being forced to live under the Commies?
Moscow empire tried to Starve Berlin city , much like starved millions Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs , etc.
