Yeah the Topography of Terror is worth a visit and directly across the road is Goering's old Air Ministry which is worth a visit if only to see what Nazi Architecture was like. I really got a sense of atmosphere inside Templehof Airport. Its style is "very" 1930's.

If you want to see the site of the July 20th plot in Berlin go to Stauffenberg Strasse where the old Wehrmacht Headquarters still stands. There is an exhaustive exhibition about the Resistance to Hitler.

Another place well worth a visit is the War Mueseum in Karlshorst which is sited in Zhukov's old Headquarters. There is a good display of Russian Armor in the Gardens and the exhibitions are fantastic.

If the front is broken through at one point all the rest will collapse."* - General Heinz Guderian "With amazement and disappointment, we discovered in late October and early November that the beaten Russians seemed quite unaware that as a military force they had almost ceased to exist." - General Blumentritt "In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen me fight so hard." Lieutenant General Wilhelm Bittrich - Commander of II SS Panzer Korps - (Commenting on the British Paratroopers at Arnhem) - September 1944 "Had Clark given more heed to Juin's views...the savage battles of Cassino would probably never have been fought and the venerable house of St Benedict would have been unscathed" Rudolf Böhmler - 1st Fallschirmjäger Division - 1944 (After the bombing of Monte Cassino)
