We know that it all went down in Berlin, but where? Street names have changed and many buildings are gone, but several traces of Hitler's "Thousand Year Reich" can still be seen. Explore what's left of Göring's Air Force Ministry (Luftwaffe), Göbbel's Propaganda Ministry, Hitler's Bunker, and the remains of Himmler's SS and Gestapo. You'll also see where Albert Speer's humongous People's Hall would've stood had he been able to build Hitler's so-called "World Capital Germania". We'll begin the tour by learning how Hitler was able to seize power in 1933 and then explore the sites that were crucial to his holding onto that power. Due to all the WWII destruction and subsequent rebuilding, you'll get a sense of the city's architectural diversity and see how Berlin confronts the Nazi period - and remembers those who perished during it - today. With the use of visual aids along the way, I'll provide a 'then & now' perspective to help you gain a deeper understanding of this catastrophic chapter in German history.
We'll meet at Berlin's Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) and begin our walk by covering: - Moltke Bridge, where the Soviet Red Army crossed the Spree River during the Battle of Berlin - Reichstag, today's seat of the German parliament and the building that helped make the Nazi dictatorship possible - Soviet War Memorial of 1945 - Brandenburg Gate, the symbol of Berlin and the site of Nazi Exploitation - Wilhelmstrasse, the seat of Hitler's Government - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe - Site of Hitler's Bunker - Göbbels' Propaganda Ministry - Göring's Air Force Ministry (Luftwaffe) - Site of Himmler's SS and Gestapo HQ The tour will finish at the Topography of Terror Documentation Center, a must see experience for anyone interested in learning more about Third Reich history.
