Perhaps one of the most important places in the world in the 1940's and it was very nearly destroyed by the allied war effort. I visited some years ago and was fascinated by the number of bullet strikes you can still see on the buildings today and a partly demolished bomb damaged church left as a memorial to the horrors of that time. The Soviet soldiers (the wall had just come down when I visited) selling Russian trinkets and more worrying memorabilia in the shape of military items in the square near the old border. Finally it was easy to picture in a minds eye whilst sitting on the Kurferstendam enjoying a Becks on a summers evening the 1000+ Wellington bombers overhead discharging their loads onto the city. It must have been a truly horrific time. Didn’t you get a sense of history whilst you were in Berlin?
