How the Soviet's react to the blockade
I don't know but the Soviet Union made Germany communist after WWII. The U.S and the Soviet Union split Berlin in half. East Berlin was communist West Berlin was noncommunist. Soviet Union got sick of U.S coming in their land to get to West Berlin. That created the Berlin Airlift. We hade to take a plane to deliver supplies. Why we hade to deliver you say? Soviet Union started to starve our half of Berlin.
