The information above is another example of what the Cold War can do to the minds of the people. Evidence that Eisenhower could have done so, please. And don't forget, Berlin didn't just "fall" into Soviet's hands, there was an army there.

[edit] SO SUBJECTIVE!

OMG! this is so untrue...It must be rewritten, so that the tone doesn't sound that subjective. The american general was 'that close' and he didn't think it was worth risking lives...this is nonesense!!!

[edit] Revisions

I rewrote and redid much of the article. I am asking for some help, as I plan to make this article a big project of mine very shortly. I would greatly appreciate any comments or help on my talk page as well. Jmlk17 09:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Context

There is already the Battle of Berlin, but the range of articles on the operations that led to the taking of Berlin are many.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 04:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Information

I've taken interest into this article. I need information regarding any operations that the Western allies did. Any information is helpful --L3eater 12:43pm, May 19 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 16:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Citation

What if the proof is from a T.V show documentary? how would i cite that? L3eater (talk) 01:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

you cite in the same way you cite a published work, except the program name replaces the book title, and the program creator replaces the publisher. Be careful because the documentaries are often created by companies for showing on TV channels, so you will need to find out the company that created the documentary and not the channel you saw it on.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 02:41, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quoting people

Unfortunately it is not a quote when someone say "One Russian veteran said..." because the speaker is unidentified, and the source is not referenced in the Remme's article. At that rate anyone could say almost anything about anything, for example I can come back and say Spravochnikov said the "One German veteran said their tanks were useless...". There are oral histories gathered by researchers which are very acceptable as sources, but not in this fashion.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 21:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
