Eastern Europe 2007 - Berlin - Hitler and Soviets

More sights from Berlin -

This is on the block where Hitler's bunker stood.
Now it is mostly rubble and a few brick walls.


This is Checkpoint Charlie, the main security line between the American side and Soviet side of Berlin during the Soviet occupation. The guide told us that this isn't the original spot, which is really a few meters away. There is a resistance museum right by there where we learned about the Soviet occupation and some of the ways people tried or did escape.


Just a sliver of East Berlin bland architecture.


The massive reconstruction needs money and buildings get sponsorships like this one.
