Joachim and Helga Gehde, survivors of the Russian blockade of Berlin the late 1940s, pose for a photo shortly after they married in the early 1960s. The Gehdes say that relief supplies dropped over Berlin by Col Gail Halvorsen and his crewmates during Operation Vittles, helped save their lives. (Courtesy photo)
