Thank you for the remembrance. My father-in-law served with the Army Corps of Engineers before and during the Berlin Airlift. He was stationed at Hanau Depot. Heavy construction equipment needed to be airlifted to Berlin for the construction of a new airport. Part of his work was devising ways to transport the necessary heavy equipment to Berlin. In many cases, the equipment was so large and so heavy that it had never been transported by air before this time. He was young and energetic, and I know he took great satisfaction in the work he and his fellow soldiers accomplished in those years. Sadly, Pop didn’t live to see this 60th anniversary. He passed on in 2005.
Good evening Think free or die, thanks to your father for his service!
