I get the impression that pre Keenan, pre containment, there was quite a move to use the momentum of victory to break down the wall that pre WW II red baiting (on our side) and antipathy (on their side) and avoid it being rebuilt. Keenan's containment model certainly crystalized once the Berlin Airlift succeeded.

I have a link to the Airlift. My dad served in West Berlin when that went down, in the Signal Corps. As a boy, I went to junior high with Colonel Halverson's son. Colonel Halverson, while a junior officer, was known far and wide as "the candy bomber" to German children. His crewmen used to drop candy, with handkerchiefs for parachutes, out of their cargo planes as the approached Templehof airport.
