Sources C and sources D are slightly surprising because in source C Truman was talking about what they should do with or about Germany. Truman had also stated that they would be staying in Berlin because they had concluded to share Berlin through an agreement and Stalin had no right to force us out of Berlin by direct or indirect pressure. In source D the Russians were shining lights and blocking communication signals to try to make the American planes crash.

This is surprising as Truman had made it obvious leaving Berlin was not up to debate, whereas the newspaper states the opposite. Because this is in a diary of a US official we can believe that this is what genuinely happened when discussing the matter at hand which is the Berlin Blockade. Source D on the other hand, states that the Berlin Blockade is such a major matter it would leave the western powers little to no other option other than to withdraw from Berlin which contradicts the main message of the first source.
This may not be surprising as a newspaper would be use to manipulate people’s views, whereas the diary made by a US official is more personal and might be shown as more genuine.

Yes, source C made source D surprising because in source C, Truman made it clear that it was mandatory for them to stay in West Berlin; while in source D, the American newspaper says that what is best for the Western Allies to do was simply get out of Berlin - that doing so won’t make them lose their dignity - to prevent any wars.
However, this could also be not too surprising because since source C was from a US official's diary entry and wasn't initially meant/written to be published to the population, and source D was an article written to be read by many. It's not a shock that a newspaper would over-emphasize any opinions or information.

It is surprising because Truman made it clear that they were not leaving. It is also surprising because the sources are both American and Source D was written two months later.

It’s surprising because Truman made it clear to everyone that he was not leaving Berlin. It’s also surprising because the sources are American and also source D was two months later.

Source C makes Source D slightly surprising, because the media and the government can have different opinions, but they express opposite opinions in these sources. In Source C, Truman states that leaving Berlin is not a decision, Source D states that the Allies should leave Berlin, and focus instead on strengthening their border against East Germany.

# data[].attributes.body
Both sources are American. This makes it even more surprising that source D is disagreeing with source C when source C clearly states that leaving Berlin is out of the question. Source D was also written 2 months after source C which means that source C was public for quite a while before D's release.

These two sources are surprising, because they are saying the opposite. However, one of the sources comes from an official's diary, and one is from the public. The source from the public would have no idea what Truman was actually thinking.

Source C makes Source D only slightly surprising. They both come from majorly different texts, source C coming from a US Official’s diary, and source D coming from a Newspaper. It is clear that the newspaper is more likely to exaggerate the situation and make the Soviets seem like the enemies, as it is to be read by the people. At the time, Americans believed that Soviet Russia was the enemy, therefore it would only make sense that a public newspaper would build on that belief, hence making the contents of source D not surprising, considering source C.

Source C is from a US Official’s diary, this means that it is likely to contain truthful and confidential information about what was really going on in Berlin. Information that US Officials know about Berlin is clearly going to be different to what the public knows, as the public’s only source of information is from the media, which commonly manipulates its information to make the citizens happy with what they read.

This is surprising because Truman made it clear that there was no discussion for the Western Allies to leave West Berlin. But just a few months later, a published newspaper article rebels against the decisions made by the President and some Americans think that it is a better solution to leave, so they can stay on better terms with the Soviets.

# data[].attributes.body
This is surprising because it goes against the opinions of the president, which would presumably be somewhat accepted by the media. In Source D, the newspaper argues that leaving Berlin is the only reasonable solution remaining, while in Source C, Truman argues that this will be a bad idea because there was an agreement between the Soviet Union and America.

It is surprising because we assume that a newspaper article is communicating something that the public would hold to make sense and be the foundation of a decent argument. However, we know from Source C that Truman had categorically decided that the allies must remain in Berlin. Clearly, then, we must conclude that Truman had not made his resolve sufficiently public, or else the article could not have been published. This is doubly surprising because the policy of containment required the allies to make very apparent to the Soviets where they would meet points of resistance to any expansionist plans. If this was not true enough of Berlin for an American newspaper to understand, it casts doubt on whether it was clear enough for the Soviets.
