Description: Great Battles - The Berlin Airlift " width="100%" height="90" border="0"> THE GREAT BATTLES - The Berlin Airlift DVD Video Description THE GREAT BATTLES is a new series of DVDs that delve into the most historically important battles of WWII. Using a combination of U.S. Dept. of Defense archive films and period newsreels of the time, each film features actual wartime footage and or first-person accounts from those that were there. Three short years after the end of World War II, the major powers (England, France, Russia and the USA) became embroiled in a crisis over the control of the divided city of Berlin. The Soviets sought to push the western allies out of the area permanently to consolidate their total control of all of what was to become East Germany. Upon closing rail, road, and canal access from the West to the city they hoped to starve out the Allies. The United States replied with a massive around the clock airlift of coal, food and medical supplies to keep the lights on, and the people of West Berlin fed. While not a battle of weapons, it became a battle of logistics which was won with American air power. These films show how the feat was accomplished and give an insight into the political conditions of the era, along with the creation of the Berlin wall.
