That 262 is really beautiful, nice to see it flying.

There is no T-34 at Treptow Park but there are indeed two at the Tiergarten memorial, along with an artillery piece. We met two fellow English guys at the memorial, one of whom had done his national service in the army in Berlin in the early 1950s. He was told at the time that the crews' bodies were still sealed inside the tanks! A good story but I don't believe it. There is no obvous sign of battle damage to either vehicle.

I resently got back from Berlin, and I have taken some photographs of the memorial, and some "war scarred" buildings. Just wonder if anyone would be interested to see them?

Thanks, Michael

Is there a special third reich tour? Anyway, I didn't do it! I looked up some places on my own, and me and my friend went there either by foot or with Bus.
