Today we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift

Many Germans of my parents' generation still have fond memories of the "candy bombers" and the friendship they represented only three years after the end of the war.
While my father was not directly affected by the airlift (he only recalls that some "bombers" starting from an airfield not too far away from the place he lived in 1948) he also remembers the freindliness of GIs especiually towards the cildren of their former enemies.

In the name of my parents and their generation I would like to thank the US for the support and friendship they provided
