Soviet Marshal Replies to British Protest Over Berlin Blockade
Soviet Marshal Vassily Sokolovsky sent a letter to British commander Sir Brian Robertson saying Berlin’s food supply would last several weeks and trains might run as usual. He warned the highway to Berlin would stay closed to curb currency from western zones and defended the blockade as necessary to protect the Soviet zone’s economy. Western powers sought UN action as U.S. and French spokesmen urged direct talks to resolve the Berlin crisis amid international appeals for peace.
