Official photographers were not the only ones to capture images with their cameras, however. The soldiers of the Western powers also caught their experiences while stationed in Berlin on film or took photos of their friends on excursions. Thousands of pictures offer interesting glimpses of everyday military and private life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important sub-collection comprises some 2,000 private and official photographs from the era of the Berlin Airlift.

The Allies were not the only people to patronize the American PX, the British NAAFI shop, and the French \u00c9conomat in Cit\u00e9 Foch. Berliners, too, appreciated the typical products on offer in those supermarkets. In order to purchase them, however, they needed good contacts. What remains of the Western powers\u2019 palaces of consumption are shopping carts, shopping bags, and food packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Allies and Berliners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Allies also participated in Berlin cultural life. One important event was the German-American Volksfest, which remains popular today, and many of its posters and props have ended up in the Museum collection. Work came before play, however, as documented by the duty passes and employers\u2019 references for civilian employees. Tens of thousands of Berliners worked for decades for the Allies, who were an important employer in the city.
