I've only read about the postwar occupation of Germany in passing, so correct me if I'm wrong on anything here. Was breaking up Germany into smaller states that couldn't threaten Europe in the future ever on the table in 1945?

I know that West Germany was formed because the Allies wanted a buffer state between them and the Pact, but let's say the Soviets had occupied either all or none of Germany. Was there any point where breakup of Germany was suggested?
