Tips
- Look for keywords such as four-power occupation, sectors, Airlift, or Wall. Recall that only one major German city was jointly administered by all four Allies. Eliminate cities that were entirely in one occupation zone (e.g., strictly US or Soviet) or smaller border towns not historically linked to four-sector administration.
