We didn't "let" them take Berlin; the Russians (Soviets) were RACING for it! They had a vengence against the Germans. Germans were desparately trying to surrender to British/US troops before the Russians (Soviets) could get their hands on them. ...Are you kidding me? the German forces weren't trying to surrender at all. And no there was no race. British/US troops wouldn't dare to enter Berlin. If it weren't for the Soviet's, Adolf Hitler would rule the world.

Answer 2: It's not that we "allowed" the Soviets there first. They did have a chip on their shoulder from Germany violating the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, however, that did not make their claim to Berlin any more valid than British or American's. Where the first answer is wrong, is that given the chance, Hitler would have rather surrendered to the allies. He knew we would at least give him a fair shake. Would he have been executed? Yes. But the allies would have tried him, let him make a statement, etc. The Soviets would have undoubtedly tortured him before executing him in what would most likely be a barbaric way.

What was the Berlin airlift and why was it needed?

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.
