You probably mean Berlin airlift. Stalin felt it a problem that the people living in the Russian zone could see the prosperity in the other three zones (French, British, American). As he could not remove the Allies from Berlin, he ordered to close all the railroads, roads and canals that entered West Berlin through the Russian zone.This way he wanted to cut off all the supplies of food and fuel as well. In West Berlin, the only way to provide for themselves was to fly in supplies - it was called the Berlin airlift. Fortunately Stalin did not dare to shoot down the planes. This situation went on for 11 months when Stalin gave in. After the removal of the blockade, the three zones in West Berlin united and formed the German Federal Republic.
