“There was an obstacle in the way on the approach to Tegel, however. A Soviet controlled radio tower caused problems with its proximity to the airfield. Pleas to remove it went unheard. Finally, on November 20, French General Jean Ganeval made a decision. If they would not take it down, he would simply blow it up. So, on December 16, the dynamite was used. The tower fell, and the obstacle was gone.”
It’s my recollection that the studios were in the Russian zone and under Russian control, but that the towers were in the French zone. Since the American and British zones already had airports (as did the Soviet) the new airport was built in the French zone, leading to the tower issue.
