T-34 in Berlin

Panzerschreck · 15-05-2008, 08:51 PM

Hope I'm posting this at the right place. Anyway, I'm going to Berlin on tuesday and I really wan't to see the T-34 monument in Berlin (The first T-34 that stormed the city is now a monument) The only problem is that I don't know where exactly in Berlin it's located. Has anyone of you been there? I hope to take some good pictures while there, maybe something I can post here later.

Please let me know!

Thanks, Michael

I'm going to Berlin on the 26th of May and what I can tell is that it is located in Tiergarten and there is another soviet memorial at Treptower Park. But i'm all ears about this one

Panzer schreck its literally up the road from the Brandenburg Gate. And as you walk around it remember that it was built from the wreckage of Hitler's Reich Chancellery. Soviet War Memorial (Tiergarten) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I tried to look it up on Google earth, but I could only find the Soviet war memorial, not the T-34. Can anyone help me to find it? Zoom it in on Google earth and take a printscreen or whatever!

Thanks, Michael

The Memorial has two T-34s.
Are you refering to another T-34 memorial, if so i haven't heard of that one ?
Or do you mean the first T34 across the Oder.
Seelow Heights

On Google Earth the Soviet Memorial in Berlin has one T34 at
52°30'58.08"N 13°22'17.17"E
other at
52°30'58.33"N 13°22'21.32"E
Zoom right in they are very clear.

I'm confused as well. What other T-34 is there. The monument in Treptow Park is of a Soviet Soldier holding a child, not a T-34 as far as I know.

Actually the place to see Russian armor in Berlin is the museum at Karlshorst. Deutsch-Russisches Museum Berlin-Karlshorst You have an SU-100,T-34/85, JS-II, stalin Organ, SU-122 and various smaller artillery pieces. Great museum.
