EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a historic moment in time - the first civilian bus to leave West Berlin after the end of the Soviet blockade in May 1949. The bus, proudly displaying the banner "Hurra, we still live," was heading for Hanover, symbolizing resilience and victory over adversity.
Between April 1948 and May 1949, Josef Stalin imposed a harsh land blockade on supplies from Western Europe to West Berlin. In response, the British and American governments organized an enormous airlift to provide food and essentials to the 2.5 million inhabitants of West Berlin. After a year-long struggle, Stalin conceded defeat and lifted the blockade.
This image is not just a snapshot of history; it represents courage, determination, and unity in times of crisis. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, humanity can prevail with perseverance and solidarity.
