Meet your guide on the square next to the Tränenpalast (Palace of Tears), Reichstagufer 17, 10117 Berlin.
Forever marred by their inglorious Nazi past, a string of sites with a connection to the Third Reich form the backbone of this tour. Your expert guide will bring these locations to life, as you take a deep dive into the pivotal role Berlin played in the rise and fall of the Third Reich.
You will follow the route of the advancing Soviet army towards the final battle for the Reichstag in 1945, and discover the remains of the “Thousand-Year Reich”: Goering’s Air Force Ministry, Goebbels’s Propaganda Ministry, and the ruins of Himmler’s SS and Gestapo HQ, now occupied by the Topography of Terror exhibition.
At the site of Hitler’s Reich Chancellery and the exact location of the Führerbunker, your guide will give you a blow-by-blow account of the last days spent underground in the bunker, Hitler’s suicide and the fate of his remains.
Germany’s courageous resistance movement carried out many heroic acts – your guide will recount the events of the day on which they set in motion their plan to assassinate Hitler, in a desperate bid to bring down the brutal Nazi dictatorship.
You will stand at the location of the last battle to be fought in Berlin before Germany’s unconditional surrender in 1945. The imposing Soviet War Memorial in Tiergarten commemorates the fallen Red Army soldiers, and its tanks and field artillery serve as a reminder of the ferocity of the fighting.
The tour finishes at the Topography of Terror.
