This is impossible and makes no sense. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961, so how can it initiate events in 1948?

How can the Berlin wall have caused a blockade and airlift 13 years before it was built?

How did American cargo planes in 1948 fly over the Berlin wall that wasn't there yet? Did they have time travel?

Section makes no sense

The section "Berlin in the Cold War" claims that:

"The construction of the Berlin Wall also initiated the Berlin Blockade which saw the USSR, in June 1948, cut off resources entering the western half of Berlin[1] (Van Tonder 2017). In response to this, the US flew cargo plans with resources over the Berlin Wall to sustain the city.[1]"

This is impossible and makes no sense. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961, so how can it initiate events in 1948?

How can the Berlin wall have caused a blockade and airlift 13 years before it was built?

How did American cargo planes in 1948 fly over the Berlin wall that wasn't there yet? Did they have time travel?
