A man carries a pork half on his shoulder from the freight wagon to the loading area at Westhafen in Berlin's Tiergarten-Moabit district. In 1946 this inland harbor served as a central transshipment point for food distributed to the struggling population of the British sector. Meat, alongside bread and potatoes, was among the scarcest commodities of the postwar period; rations fell far below subsistence levels, making every delivery carefully tracked and redistributed. The scene exemplifies Allied supply logistics in the occupied city.
