USA saved West-Berlin from Soviet takeover

Oct 11, 2026

Excerpt from the documentary film "Test for the West" that has won on the first Berlinale festival 1962 the Silver Bear. Women begin to clear the rubble, while their husbands either have died or are still in captivity. For the children war is indeed over, but there is never enough to eat. When the Soviets try to take over West-Berlin by means of a blockade, the United States do not give up the city but provide it with a unique airlift.
