General De Witte is the only one that is complete and correct.
GB and Canada, USA, France, Belgium and Russia had longtime troops in Germany. First occupation troops and later troops in NATO (or Warchau-pact for the Russians)cooperation.
In Berlin were only Russians, British, USA and French troops that occupied the town.

During the war the Belgians could not make a great participation due to the occupation by Germany (though if you search in history, they did more than other bigger countries : Congo, navy units, brigade Piron, Raf pilots, ...), but once liberated they insisted to do more than their part and new Belgian units were joining in a quick tempo the struggle. Later, they took responsability over a sector of the occupation forces to help their allies so that those troops could be quicker demobilisized to join their families after so many years of fighting.

The Netherlands retrieved very soon their troops but some units where planned to take immediatly position in Germany if the cold war should becoming warmer.

Considering the small size of the country Belgium had a relatively big "occupation" sector between the BAOR (british army of the rhine) and the US sector in Western Germany (a sector from Aachen-Koln to the frontier with Eastern Germany. The last troops returned only recently to Belgium.

The original deal with the Russians called for three zones. The U.S. and Britain then created a zone for France for their own zones. The reasoning was that France played a very small role in defeating Nazi Germany.

France and Great Britain.
Refer to the four zones of the City of Berlin. Because Berlin was in the Soviet Zone - and the rest of us didn't like that (including the Germans!) - Berlin was further divided by four.
Refer also to what the Soviets did to the Germans resulting in our running the Berlin Airlift to keep the people from starving to death.
So many people left Soviet controlled Germany by crossing into one of the other Allied zones at Berlin - "Checkpoint Charlie" - the Soviets started out with concertina wire, watch towers with soldiers with rifles to the actual "Berlin Wall" to keep them in.
