At the beginning of the Berlin Blockade by Soviet Occupying Forces in 1948 the people of West Berlin had a "49 day supply of coke". Is this referring to cocaine or the popular soda?

According to this Wikipedia article under the history tab, at the beginning of the blockade the American, British, and French allied troops had a 49 day supply of "coke". I was wondering if anyone had any more info of what this is referring too. It seems to be a neat little history fact.

"Koks" in this setting most likely refers to coke as in processed coal - coal that has been heated in an oxygen-free environment and is used to produce producer gas for gas stoves and gas heating, both of which were common in 40s and 50s Berlin
