Dehydrated potatoes at Westhafen harbor, Berlin 1946

Workers haul crates of dehydrated potatoes across the quay of the Westhafen to load them for onward transport. Dried vegetables were among the most important emergency rations in occupied Berlin, as fresh potatoes and other staples were scarce. The Westhafen in the British sector was one of the transshipment points through which Allied food aid reached the war-ravaged city, from where it was distributed by truck to the individual sectors.
