Unloading freight wagons at Westhafen harbor, Berlin 1946

Workers in simple clothing unload freight wagons, push carts and haul sacks and crates across the harbor grounds. After 1945 the Westhafen was a hub for goods traffic by rail, ship and truck, through which a large share of the food for Berlin's population was transshipped. The physically demanding work, largely without mechanization, reflects the improvised conditions of supply logistics in the occupied city.
