Quite...but Berlin was not "Germany" at the time.

Neither you nor I said it was. I simply disagreed when you said occupation
ended in the 1950s and I stated that occupation continued long after I left
Berlin. The West German Government continued to fund sustaining allied
troops in Berlin even after occupation of West Germany ceased.

All four powers jointly coordinated air, rail, and autobahn routes from
West Germany to West Berlin. In addition, each took turns guarding Spandau
Prison (Rudolph Hess was the only prisoner when I was there).
