The U.S. maintained a presence in West Berlin during the Cold War to demonstrate its commitment to defending Western ideals and countering Soviet influence in Europe. West Berlin was a symbol of freedom and democracy, surrounded by communist East Germany, and served as a critical outpost for intelligence and military operations. Additionally, the presence helped reassure West Berliners and allied nations of America's support against potential Soviet aggression. This strategic positioning was essential for maintaining stability in a divided Europe.

Berlin), however you could go to E. Berlin (coming from W. Berlin).
