The Berlin Airlift
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The Berlin airlift was a 1940s military operation that supplied West Berlin with food and other vital goods by air after the Soviet Union blockaded the city.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Western Allies organised the Berlin Airlift (German: Berliner Luftbrücke, lit. ‘"Berlin Air Bridge"’) from 26 June 1948 to 30 September 1949 to carry supplies to the people of West Berlin, a difficult feat given the size of the city and the population.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Berlin Airlift Begins But the Soviets couldn’t block Allied airspace, so U.S. and UK forces took to the skies to get supplies to the Allied sectors. On June 26, the U.S. launched Operation Vittles, which the U.K. later joined.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Berlin Airlift Begins On June 24, 1948, Soviet forces blockaded all road, rail and water routes into Berlin’s Allied-controlled areas, stifling the vital flow of food, coal and other supplies.
Detailed explanation-5: -Joseph Stalin, the Soviet leader, imposed the Berlin Blockade from 24 June 1948 to 12 May 1949, cutting off all land and river transit between West Berlin and West Germany. The Western Allies responded with a massive airlift to come to West Berlin’s aid.
