What happened during the Berlin aircraft?

Right near the end of the war with Germany, the Russian army slipped into part of Berlin, thinking that this would be a real prize for them. They were thwarted by the Allies, so they simply surrounded Berlin to prevent food and supplies from getting to its people. So the Allies, largely the US, started the Berlin airlift to fly food and supplies in to Berlin's people.

Did the luftwaffe and kriegsmarine permit the Italians to use German aircraft in the battle of the Atlantic?

The Italians were allies of Germany. The Italian aircraft manufacturers could not produce sufficient aircraft. After the Allies captured Sicily and landed on mainland Italy, the German Luftwaffe began to decline. The commander of the Luftwaffe in Italy was General Wolfram von Richthofen. The majority of the German fighters were pulled out of Italy for use to fight the Russians and defend their homeland from strategic bombing. Some German units remained to fly supplies and recon. The fighter squardrons were operated by Italian pilots and Germany began to arm them with Messerschmidts Bf-109s and Ju-87 Stukas. For awhile they flew in the Italian RSI isgnia but some flew with German insignia. Source: "Air War in Italy 1944-45" by Beale & D'Amico & Valentini

Why was the Berlin Airlift important to the US?

The Berlin Airlift occurred after World War 2. When Germany surrendered, the four major countries of the Allies were placed in charge as occupation forces. The four countries were USA, Britain, France and Russia. The country was divided up into sectors and placed under the control of each country and the capitol city of Berlin was also divided. Later, Russia began to isolate the territories under their rule, including other border countries. This divided Germany and eventually Russia erected a wall that was known as the "Iron Curtain" along the border. Since the city of Berlin was within the region occupied by Russia, the sectors of the city that was under the rule of US, Britain and France were cut off from the other regions of Germany to the west, which still had some freedom. The Soviet Prime Minister wanted to exert complete control, so he closed the only road that connected the part of Berlin that was free from the remaining West Germany. The US and the other allies didn't want Russia to take complete control over Berlin, so they sent food and supplies into Berlin by air---thus the Berlin Airlift. Eventually, Russia gave in and re-opened the road.
