Loading biscuits at Westhafen harbor, Berlin 1946

Workers carry and stack cartons of biscuits at the Westhafen, the large inland harbor in Berlin's British sector. After the war Berliners suffered acute food shortages; the harbor in the Moabit district served as a central transshipment point for provisions destined for distribution in the western sectors. Such basic supplies often reached the devastated city through Allied aid programs, two years before the Berlin Blockade would make the supply situation even more dire.
