    Film Provenance
    Alexander Katlan donated this film to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in July 2006 in memory of his father Dr. Nathanial R. Katlan. Mr. Katlan purchased the film at an estate sale in New York, and the original creator is therefore unknown.
    Note
    Original label on can: "Rhein River-Dachau"

    The pilots of Neubiberg Air Force Base, and their mascot Clarence the camel, distributed supplies to the Western-held sectors of Berlin during the 1948-1949 blockade. This aerial supplying became known as the Berlin Airlift and was named Operation Vittles.
