Airlift for the supply of West Berlin
Légende
An American transport plane, with supplies for West Berlin, flies over Thomas cemetery in Berlin-Neukölln during his approach to Tempelhof airport, in October 1948. 50 years ago, on 24 June 1948, the USSR imposed a blockade on Berlin as a reaction to the currency reform. All land and waterways were blocked for passenger and freight traffic between West Berlin and West Germany. The supply of the West Berlin population and the western allied occupation took place by an airlift established by the USA and Great Britain.
