We have all seen the classic photograph of U.S. troops raising the Stars and Stripes over the ruins of the Reichstag in Berlin on April 14th, 1945.
Something I was thinking about...what if the Soviets had gotten to Berlin first? The decision to go for Berlin was a hotly debated one in the Allied councils of war...what if they had decided to let the Soviets have the prize? How would our world have been different, if at all?
