Wow this is actually very interesting! So the people that was blockaded was looseing supplies. So the United States decided to get their planes and drop food and medical packages. This made the US and everyone else betides Germany look like hero's. Then Germans that wasn't blocked was slowly going for the U.S. after they saw what they were doing was terrible.
