He was then stationed in Wales. While in Europe, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium, the Battle of the Colmar with the First French Army in Alsace, and the Battle of the Ruhr. After the war, Berlin moved to Topeka, Kansas. He received a bachelor’s degree from Washburn University and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Kansas.
