Before the fall of the Berlin Wall, could W Berliners travel by road/rail to rest of W Germany? If so how?
Berlin Wall, Iron Curtain, East Berlin, West Berlin, East Germany, West Germany
Yes, Otto B is correct.
Although there was a wall around West Berlin – there was rail service and highways running through East Germany and connecting West Germany to West Berline – but you could only drive all of the way through. Most goods were delivered by rail and truck.
There was a short period of time during which all of the roads were blocked – the Soviets were trying to starve out West Berlin – but the United States provided an airlift that kept the city supplied long enough to end the stand off and open the city again for travel and resupply.
Note: theadsm… and Sandy B seem confused – the Wall ran around West Berlin – locking them inside of East Germany – not the other way around. There was a controlled border between East and West Germany – that you could not easily get across – but the Wall was around West Berlin. The question asked was whether they could get out of the wall – and make it to the rest of West Germany from which they were disconnected. The city of Berlin lies inside of what used to be East Germany. That portion of the city of Berlin that used to be West Berlin was locked inside of East Germany by the Wall.
