Berlin 1933 – Tagebuch einer Großstadt

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the start of the legendary Berlin Airlift of the Western Allied Forces that helped more than two million West Berliners survive the 11-month Soviet blockade of this iconic city in the wake of the Cold War. The airlift took place from June 1948 until September 1949, for a total delivery of more than 1.5 million tons of supplies and a total cost of over $224 million. #berlinairlift #luftbrücke | German Embassy Washington
