Eleven months of rarely electric light, just two hours a day of cooking electricity and only a few briquettes - how did the people in West Berlin manage that?


The special exhibition looks at the diverse inventiveness during the Berlin blockade in 1948/49.

She talks about vegetables in powder form, school lessons by candlelight, chickens in the living room - and the risk of supplying a city of millions from the air.
