Question

The Berlin airlift operation, nicknamed "Operation Vittles," provided food, fuel, and basic supplies for Allied forces stationed in Berlin during World War II.
True
False​

Answer 1

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

After the end of World War II, Germany was separated into four sectors, according to the nations controlling it. The nation was divided into four parts- Soviet, American, British, and French-controlled zones. This division was further taken in the case of Berlin, the capital city, dividing it among the four nations.

And the Soviets, in an attempt to drive the other three nations away from the capital city, blocked all forms of road access. The plan was to stop any flow of resources and necessities and it will result in France, Britain, and America abandoning their sections of Berlin.

But, taking advantage of the free airspace, the three nations began using their aircraft to drop basic supplies to the people living in their parts of Berlin. This operation was codenamed "Operation Vittles".

Thus, the correct answer is false. For, the airlift operation was to provide the basic necessities to the people, not the Allied forces station in Berlin.
