Considering what happened during the Cold War and what a pivotal point Berlin was, glad that the "Four Powers" were there. Otherwise Russia would have run roughshod over the whole area.
Without the Americans, Berlin would have fallen and all of Germany might have become a "workers paradise" so to speak. You know more about that than most I believe. Sorry to hear about those in the Elbe areas but there are as well a lot of Berliners who feel very happy that we were there and kept the city alive during the Berlin Airlift, while at the same time keeping the Russians out.
