Berlin Autobahn rights eroded by Allied retreats over years
The Berlin crisis follows years of Allied retreats to Soviet demands after World War II. Western officers at times bowed to pressure over movement on the 110 mile Autobahn. From June 1945 agreements allowed free air and road movement, but by 1959 headcounts and dismount rules began reappearing. By 1961 Soviet pressure culminated in the wall and convoy checks, prompting strong Western responses and formal limits on dismounts for convoys.
