Not all of it was. Belin and Germany was divided into 2 sections. The USSR controlled the eastern half and half of Berlin. The Allies controlled the western half as well as half of Berlin. Belin was divided by a wall that finally was taken down after the USSR dissolved.

Berlin was a divided city and was allocated between a Soviet, French, British, and American sector.However, the city was completely surrounded by the Soviet section of Germany.
The Berlin Airlift was a military operation designed to provide food and supplies to the city of Berlin from 1948-1949. After World War II, German and the city of Berlin were divided into four sections, each controlled by a separate power: the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. Berlin was in the Soviet section of German and the Soviet Union wanted to take complete control of Berlin, so they blocked all of the roads and railways into Western Berlin in order to force the other nations to abandon the city. In response, the Western governments began flying supplies into the city in order to circumvent the Soviet blockade.
The Soviet Union was hoping to drive the western allies out of Berlin, so they could occupy the whole city which was located 128 miles deep inside East Germany. The Soviet Union never like the arrangement after World War II to have the city of Berlin divided among the allied governments. I also think that the Soviets felt they deserved to occupy the entire city because of the tremendous losses they suffered taking Berlin from the Nazis. Over 300,000 Russians were killed taking the city.
The Soviet Army had surrounded the city and overtaken the German defense.
