Would probably be the only place in East Germany that wouldn't receive a nuke either when they started flying...however, I suspect that it's a propaganda victory piece for the DDR. 'After years of division, Berlin has been rid of the imperialists and the comrades in the so called 'West Berlin' have been liberated!', etc, etc, etc.
Would make more sense to just surround it and leave it though, after all, it's not as if you'll free up many more forces by capturing it because you'll need to keep divisions there for suppression...unless they planned to give that job to Category B or C divisions and any A divisions used in the attack would be transferred to the front.
