The Soviet Union officially ended its blockade of Berlin on May 12, 1949, though the air supply operation continued until September 30. Faced with continuing harassment from the USSR and East German governments, President Patton appealed to the American people and Congress for authority to use military means to solve the problem once and for all. Congress declared war on East Germany on October 13 . Nine days later, the Soviet Union declared itself the protector of German freedom, and sent forces to support their ally. *
