Berlin 48-49



Berlin after World War II : Nearly everything was destroyed, not one house to see which wasn't damaged by the bombs. At night it was bombed by GB, at day by USA. Berlin was divided into 4 zones. A British, French, Soviet and American. The only place where capitalist and communist forces came into direct contact. To integrate Germany into the western world, USA planned to introduce the "Deutsche Mark". It was realized on June the 18th '48. The Soviets immediately closed all borders. All routes to Berlin were cut off.
The USA had the innovative idea to overwhelm soviet blockade by supporting West-Berlin with an airlift.
The Berlin airlift brought a new mindset to the Western Allies, who started thinking of West Germany as an ally, rather than an occupied territory. In West Berlin, the airlift brought people sustenance and hope.
In mind, that the airlift might get impossible some time, President Truman accepted NSC-30, a plan of a nuclear attack and stationed 60 B-29 Bombers in GB.But the B-29 were not needed. The Nato was founded in April 49 and the airlift worked better than ever before. On May the 12th, soviets gave up their blockade.


This was the end of the cold war .

.Many people thought, but on a routine flight, a B-29 bomber recognized a high level of radiation over the North Pacific. The Soviets got the bomb!
