Workers hoist and stack sacks of food supplies at the Westhafen inland harbor in Berlin's Moabit district, part of the British sector. The harbor was a key transshipment point for supplying the city with American flour, dehydrated potatoes and other staples distributed by the occupying powers in the postwar period. Berliners faced drastically limited rations in 1946, making such deliveries a matter of life and health for the population. The manual labor involved in loading illustrates how makeshift urban supply logistics still were in the years after the war.
