What blunder by Eisenhower allowed the USSR to capture Berlin?
ChuckSiata
Eisenhower prevented Patton's 3rd army to advance on Berlin. Patton's tanks and troops were making unprecedented progress towards Germany.
Patton urged Ike to allow him to advance to no avail. The terrible results were that the USSR did capture Berlin. If Patton succeeded then things like the Berlin Wall and the Berlin airlift crisis never would have happened.
