Product information "UHRENWERK WEIMAR - Quartz wrist watch Airlift Berlin"

The Berlin blockade (June 24, 1948 - May 12, 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War. The Berlin Airlift served to supply the city of Berlin with aircraft from the Western Allies after the Soviet occupying power had closed the land and waterways from West Germany to West Berlin. On June 26th, the first US Air Force aircraft flew from Frankfurt and Wiesbaden to Tempelhof Airport in Berlin, thus starting Operation Vittles (Operation Provisions). The British Air Force participated with Operation Plainfare. For the first time on June 28, 1948 she had "Dakotas" (Douglas C-47) from Wunstorf to Gatow airfield. From the beginning of July until the onset of the first frost in December 1948, the British also used flying boats, which were preferably loaded with salt because of their resistance to corrosion, started on the Lower Elbe near Hamburg-Finkenwerder and landed in Berlin on the Havel and the Großer Wannsee. Australia participated with Operation Pelican. The airlift was officially ended on September 30, 1949.
