In this episode, I mention Berlin was divided into two main parts. This was done for brevity. Please do note, Berlin was divided into 4 parts, one for each ally. 3 being on the west, and 1 on the east.

Due to the BVG English website having less detail than the German site, I did have to use some older sources (2014). If you have updated sources or were able to find any errors please email noahtkoch@gmail.com or Tweet me: @noahkoch
