Loading flour with a tractor at Westhafen harbor, Berlin 1946

A tractor pulls loaded trailers across the grounds of the Westhafen while men load sacks of flour onto trucks. American flour was among the most important shipments contributing to the basic food supply of Berlin's population in 1946, as the devastated city's own agriculture fell far short of demand. The Westhafen in the British sector consolidated such shipments before the goods were distributed to the individual sectors and bakeries.
