Several men work together to unload meat from a freight wagon and push it onward at Westhafen in the Tiergarten-Moabit district. In 1946 this inland harbor served as a hub for food supply in the British sector of Berlin, where meat was among the most tightly rationed commodities. The coordinated heavy labor of several men illustrates how labor-intensive cargo handling was without modern conveying equipment. Such footage documented for American audiences the Allied efforts to supply the struggling German population.
