Connect Read the quotation from Colonel Wolfgang

Samuel, who had been a 13-year-old West Berliner

during the airlift. What does Colonel Samuel's

No answer, but the quote that he neglected to write is here.

“You didn't just fly coal to Berlin and keep a city from freezing and the lights from going out. You inspired at least one German boy to want to be just like you when he grew up.''

—Colonel Wolfgang Samuel, United States Air Force

Take my word for it.

Hello. You did not show Colonel Wolfgang Samuel's quote that the question refers to, which prevents this question from being answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Colonel Wolfgang Samuel's accounts generally show how US foreign policy during the Cold War was focused on combating the USSR's efforts to spread communist doctrine across countries. This position adopted by the USA was made to prevent its international influence from being diminished, due to Soviet policies.
