Location of allied airlift in Germany?
The Berlin Airlift came as a massive relief operation to sustain the Allied Sectors occupied Berlin against Soviet aggression and blockade. The two major airfields of the Berlin Airlift were Tegel and Templehof.
Why did the airlift have to take place?
The Berlin airlift took place after the soviet union were fed up with western influence in East Germany. The Russian response was the cut off, all road and rail connection into Berlin, to prevent the allies (England, France, United States) from supplying their sectors of berlin.

The Berlin Airlift. Please note that Britain and France also had their sectors in Berlin and played an important part in the Airlift.
How did president Truman save west Berlin?
The Russians wanted the western sectors so they wouldn't allow food and supplies into Berlin. The airlift provided food and supplies for West Berlin for nearly a year.
President Truman ordered goods and supplies flown into Berlin because?
The Russian's wanted the western sectors so they decided to starve them out by not letting anything in. The Western nations decided to fly in supplies for nearly a year before the Russians gave in. My uncle flew the airlift.
How did Berlin react to the airlift?
The Berlin airlift was seen as an act of defiance by the West against the Soviet Union. After WWII the nation of Germany was divided between the Allies as well as its capital city. Berlin rested well within the Soviet occupation zone, however, which made it impossible for Westerners to reach it by land. Stalin essentially wanted to politically besiege the sections of Berlin that weren't under his control. The American's eventually devised a plan to instead airdrop supplies into their controlled sectors, enabling them to hold out. The Soviets dared not to shoot down the planes or else spark another war. Eventually the "siege" was stopped, but the airlift still continued.
How does the Berlin airlift relate to the cold war?
To understand the Berlin Airlift you first have to understand the Potsdam Agreement. After "V-E Day" the three victorious powers of the US, the USSR and Great Britain met in Potsdam to establish a plan for the conversion of the Third Reich to a peacetime economy. It divided Germany into three sectors, one for the US, one for the Brits and the last for the Soviets. It also divided Berlin into three sectors along the same lines. (The Agreement was written so any two of the three powers could negotiate to move the border between their sectors, which came in handy when the French asked for a sector.) The US and UK sectors were administratively joined to become the "Federal Republic of Germany"; the Soviet sector was named the "German Democratic Republic."The problem for Berlin is ya gotta drive three-quarters of the way across the GDR from the Inter-German Border to get there. It's 117 miles from Helmstedt/Marienborn on the inter-German border to the western Berlin city limits, then only 37 miles from the eastern Berlin city limits to the Polish border. The Soviets didn't like having an outpost of freedom so deep inside East Germany, so they decided to starve Berlin out in hopes of taking it all. They decided the only ways you could possibly supply Berlin were to use trucks on the roads, trains, and barges on the River Spree, and blockaded all three routes. They decided there was no way you could fly that much materiel into Berlin so they failed to defend the skies. We had OTHER ideas.
