In 1948 Harry Truman realized that Europe's prosperity relied on Germany's recovery. In order to help with the hastening or Germany's recovery president Harry Truman had devised a way to send in supplies over western Germany's walls without having to send in ground troops to fight their way through the German defenses. Truman gave the order to send in a cargo plane that would drop supplies over Germany's western Germany's walls to help aid the German civilians. As the planes were flying over the pilots would personally drop candy with little parachutes out of the window for the kids. This act had helped greatly in aiding the german civilians and their recoveries. media type="youtube" key="ZK8GMGpneBE" height="349" width="425"
