Highlights
- Follow the route of the Soviet attack towards the final battle for the Reichstag and stop before the Soviet Memorial flanked with T-34 Tanks and Red Army Howitzers. Hear about the experiences of those caught up in the advancing Soviet forces.
- Discover the remains of the “Thousand-Year Reich”: see Goering's Air Defence Ministry, where the Luftwaffe coordinated the Battle of Britain, as well as the site of Goebbels’ Propaganda Ministry and the ruins of Himmler’s SS and Gestapo HQ at the 'Topography of Terror' exhibition.
- Visit the site where Hitler's Reich Chancellery stood and the exact location of the Führer Bunker – we provide a step-by-step account of Hitler's suicide, the last days spent in the bunker, and the fate of his remains.
- Discover the old Bendler Block, site of Stauffenberg's execution after the failed July 20th 1944 assassination attempt on Hitler. This building, where Operation Valkyrie came to an end, now houses the German Resistance Museum.
