Berlin war sites

Panzerschreck · 25-04-2008, 08:37 AM

I hope I'm posting this at the right place!

Anyway, I'm going to Berlin in may, and I wonder if anyone know about some interesting places that I can visit? I know there are some bunkers left, and some Luftschutzturms.. But anyone know something else, and where they are located?

thanks, michael

Morning Michael Try out this site: Berlin This is a good starting point. Are you hoping to hire out a car?

thanks, well I'm visiting some friends down there, and they have a car (at least I hope so). Why you wonder?

Because you could head east for 40 miles to the Town of Seelow which is where the Russians launched their assualt on Berlin. There is a museum there dedicated to the battle and also you can view Zhukov's headquarters.
