Statistics show that over a
million and a half tons of sup
plies were airlifted into West
Berlin during the time of the
blockade.
"Meantime the Germans
who always welcomed any help
given them and were very
at or as is an
busy cleaning up and rebuilding
their city which had been
greatly battered in the bomb
ings of World War II" said the
Sergeant Major.
It was just a few years after
the Allied Forces had beaten
Hitler's Third Reich into sub
mission at Berlin but the (ser
geant major) noticed no appre
ciable feelings of resentment or
anti-Americanism.

said Sgt Maj
o'Dens.
Eventually the supply em
bargo was lifted.
"I don't remember any ma
jor troubles during the time aft
er that" he said "although we
thought there would be back
on May Day of 1950."
About half a million East Ger
mans had ammassed them
selves on their side of the 30
foot "buffer zone" while West
Germans in an equally large
formation turned out on the
other side to stage a rally of
their own. A few East Germans
came across the line but only
to stand in awe of the many
advancements enjoyed by the
people of the Western sector.
"I remember one of the big
gest attractions was television.
East Germans like people all
over the world crowded around
West Berlin store windows to
get their first glimpses of this
new modern wonder" recalls
Sgt. Maj. O'Dens.
All in all it turned out to be
a peaceful day of German
brotherhood unmarked by inci
dent.
Sgt. Maj. O'Dens vacationed
in West Berlin a few years ago
and observed the same friend
ly helpful and congenial people
he had come to know and re
spect while there on active duty
from 1948 to 1952.
"The West Berlin of today is
a great testimonial to a great
people" said Sgt. Maj. O'Der*..
"It is now an international city
the showcase of the free
world."
He noticed many changes but
was pleased to see quite a few
of the old buildings still stand
ing. Most of them have been
restored since wartime. The one
exception is Kaiser Wilhelm
Church. The sheered-off top of
that beautiful facade was never
repaired and today serves as
both a landmark and a grim
reminder of the troubled times
the city has known.
