Berlin: 1948

Since the end of the war, Berlin has been divided, the West side is controlled by the capitalist nations, the East side is communist, controlled by the Soviet Union

All of Berlin is in EAST Germany, cut off from the Western world by everything except the Autobahn, a road that provides entry and exit for the citizens.

Stalin has decided to shut down the Autobahn so that the residents of West Berlin are trapped. He is instigating war with the U.S., but baiting Truman into firing the first shot.

The people in West Berlin will be starved out if they do not surrender.
