If the Soviets are adopting a more conservative strategic approach to the fighting in Europe, why would they launch a full scale attack into W. Berlin? Why not just besiege it and pick away at the periphery? The Soviets know how costly urban fighting can be. The first Berlin Blockade didn't work because the U.S. was able to supply it by air. This would not be possible in a T2K WWIII scenario. I would imagine that a decent siege would require fewer forces and result in fewer casualties than a full scale urban assault. Thoughts?
