I visited in 1987. I was a guest at a drama festival in Kreuzberg. President Reagan did his famous 'Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall.' I found a copy of the speech near the spot in the dirt. I still have it.

I was stationed in Germany in 1989 and was there to see it all live!

I was in Berlin with the U.S. Army (A CO, 2nd BN, 6th INF.) 1979-1980 it was a much different place then.

This is gut! My husband and I shared this with my 10 year son who is named after his 2x great grandfather whose printing press and offices were taken over by the Nazis (printed propaganda). Bruno and his wife Alice have the bronze memorial bricks where they were picked up from their home and killed in Auschwitz. My husband's opa (their son) was able to escape to Palestine, then Queens NY. He returned in 1989 and grabbed a piece of the wall.

Just came home from Berlin like 10 minutes ago. Berlin has been so fascinating! Even for me as a German :) Now I’ll enjoy your video!

Tom you are an insanely informative and interesting guide. Whether in nyc or Tampa or Berlin. Awesome knowledge, funny and entertaining. Continued good luck.

Another good one!

I've been waiting for this Berlin video and it did not disappoint. 35 minutes of interesting stuff. Bravo.

Thanks Tom and Lucie! Love your videos, no matter where you are!

Hey Tom! Once again, great job. It's amazing how many facts your brain can store haha. Honestly, it's quite impressive how educated you are. Berlin is a huge city and all the neighbourhoods have a very different atmosphere and style, so it's pretty cool that you gave us some impressions from different parts of the city. Good job! I'm really impressed with this video, especially considering that you are a New Yorker and not a Berliner. Keep it up! :)

Nice to have Lucy behind the camera again!

Lucy was funny 👍 Good to see you out of NYC once in a while too.

Berlin is a party city too! The underground night life is insane! So many cool clubs ! Greetings from Amsterdam

Is Lucie from Hamburg? I was 11 when the wall came down and distinctly remember my 6th grade teacher trying to impress upon us just how significant a historic event it was. Obviously as an adult and someone who loves history now I can appreciate the magnitude of these things, but back then the nightly news was just boring crap my dad watched while I impatiently waited for Alf to start. I love Germany so much. I've been there a few times but never made it to Berlin. We were always in the southern part of the country, in and around Munich, and all throughout Austria. Another great adventure, Tom! (It's crazy how much your hair grew on the flight from Berlin back to JFK.)

That was super cool. Berlin just happens to be one of my most fave Cities in the whole world.

Great as usual!

Napoleon at 5’5” was just an inch or so below the period’s average adult male height. British cartoonist James Gillray (1756-1815). caricatural depictions of the French general were so popular and influential that at the end of his life Napoleon said that Gillray “did more than all the armies of Europe to bring me down.”

I was stationed there in the Army 40 years ago. Thanks for bringing back the mostly positive memories Tom.

Nice tour. Dont know if you are still in Berlin but I can recommend Potsdam just a short train ride away. The Sanssouci Park and Palaces are amazing!

Worth the wait! SICK PLUG baby. I've always wanted to go to Germany. I hear my favorite camera woman!

Hi Tom! Did I just see you on Billions Season 4 Episode 8? You did great! :)

Tom you are in Europe.No impossible in Berlin .That near Poland.Maybe after travel on Poland.😃History Warsaw. Capitol.Fantastic travel and fun on Europe.👋

Tom I love your out of NYC tours. Your tour of Berlin is one of the best. One of the places I definitely want to visit. Danke

Awesome, Tom !!! Affenscharfe Tour ;-)

This brings back good memories. In 2005 I spend one month in and around Berlin. Thanks for this video...

Loved this 🙌

Hi Tom: Really great Berlin walk video. I love Berlin and have been there twice - once before the wall came down and once after. It is a spectacular city - especially for the arts and its history. The first time I was there we drove from West Germany. My friends were living in Kreuzberg and we arrived very late. When I woke up the next morning and looked out of the bedroom window the wall was right there in the garden. Needless to say I was somewhat astonished. I went back many years later for a month and had a wonderful time roaming around, meeting people etc. , seeing pubs and clubs, museums just everything. I hope youhad enough time on your trip to do the same - it is an unforgettable city. D

This was such an informative and entertaining video! Loved the history and comedy and as always Tom you are a fantastic host !

ha! my city, imagine that! I always watch your videos about NYC, and now you show my city :))

This was awesome Tom, great idea. Thank you

Ok. This guy is very interesting. He has a nice flow between historical events and how that shaped and changed Berlin and also the visual stunning scenery to enhance the experience. I like his camera angles too. I feel like i'm walking beside him. Thanks very much!

Best KZfaq channel around

Brilliant vid wunderbar ya! Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for posting, love the city, was there in 2019.

I’m halfway through, and loving it, Tom. Giving a SICK PLUG for your video on Ridgewood, Queens. So many German Immigration stories in Ridgewood//Glendale/Middle Village. I’m sure you’ve been to Zum Stammtisch (sp?), but I’m just scratching the surface. I love your work so much; we both wish I was wealthy!!

Thank you Tom great video , you speak very good German 😊

Tom is so ...prolific...funny....informed

I love this! Going to Berls soon!

Great job, we just happen to be in Berlin for a few days. Very helpful information 😊

I have been looking forward to seeing your footage of Berlin ever since you went there last year. I loved it - brought back memories of visiting Berlin a long time ago.

Never thought you would come to Germany🥨🍺! 😃 Any plans for Frankfurt am Main 🌇? My home town 😊

Well well well you look great. You’re back on your good looks. Keep it up

My father had armyduty when he was 20, and was there when the wall was build, Dutch soldiers had to help the western army. I don't know what he had to do, but he was pretty shocked when the wall was build in that speed.

Great Video, very interesting! Where are you going next?

Good job Tom, history and comedy are awesome together and you nail it.

Absolutely buzzing to find this. I’ve been watching all Tom’s NYC vids because we’re visiting again next year, but we’re off to Berlin on Tuesday so, cheers Tom 👍

Hi Tom! This is GREAT. I loved your NYC vids, and I'm stoked you're giving Berlin the same treatment. Thanks, mate!!😉

This is such great video about Berlin. Great insights and lots and lots of information about special parts of the city.

The Hasir restaurant allegedly invented the German Döner (Kebab) that today is the most popular fast food in Germany. Fun fact, there're more Döners sold every year in Germany than all hamburgers from all McDonalds and Burger Kings in Germany combined.

Damn good video. Very interesting

Fun stuff! I just got back from Berlin and it was cool to see you walking through so many of the spots I got to experience. Would have been awesome to run into you while out there!

Enjoyed immensely. Have been to Germany but not Berlin! How do you know so much German?

Love this vid. So informative. Maybe one day a livestream in Berlin?

Pretty spot on. It´s the Kaiser Wilhelm the 1st (not 2nd) Gedächtniskirche though.

In 1962 we were stationed in Paris with SHAPE (Strategic Headquarters of the Allied Powers of Europe) Headquarters in support of NATO. My mom was in charge of AYA (American Youth Activities). They took a tour of Berlin. The girls distracted American soldier's attention and the boys chiseled out some bricks out of the wall. She got fired. We had to leave Paris. And I think that event accelerated some of the strangenesses of my life. There had already been odd things going on. Just added to the potpourri. It's been weird. Still going on.

Sehr schön !! Gut gemacht

Good stuff man!

I hope Tom comes to my city one day to show me around and explain the history.

Really great video

I’ve heard there is a large Turkish-German community. Fascinating video Tom!

Come to Dresden 🤗

Thank you for this tour Tom, highlighting where the books were burned and about Kristallnacht. People think it did not happen. One day I would like to visit Germany. Thank you!

Tom, the world is such a better place with you in it!

Tom please do Hamburg , Germany next.

Finally! Tom in Germany :)

Typhus-caust the untold story …history is always written by the winners… muy buen video mi pana Tomas! 👍🏽❤️ ✊🏽

I heard a guard on the east side accidentally let ppl cross earlier than what his orders were, talk abt accidentally being in history, like the Soviet who saved us from WW3. Imagine 3 world wars in the same century. It’s still mind blowing we have 2

großartig!

NICE!! I HAD loved Germany when I went in 2015

🎉lived there when i was 4ish... dad capt of afb during cold war...😅

you should do beerfest!

I have only ONE tooth left. They knocked out 6 of them and 'allowed' me to rot out all the others AND pay for ALL the extractions. My name isn't Caesar nor Wilhelm.

Vielen lieben Dank!

Great history lesson about Germany and loved the tour! You’re pretty good at pronouncing German words. Not bad.

Never been to this part of NYC

TG is the sexiest man on the planet .

There you are ! I was wondering

the goat...tomdnyc

You should have went to Hamburg

Tomas' Belmont Delgado has an IQ of 159.6...Brilliant! LoL

DOPE!

So glad you got to go to Germany!

Can you please come to Hamburg, Germany and do a tour?????

Yes i remember being there yes

good views. think napoleon not as small as he has been reported-5'6" ?

He’s obviously the most vile human in modern history but I saw a History Channel vid on what his vision for Berlin would’ve looked like, seems kinda cool 😳

Its so odd seeing you in Germany lol God Bless Merica

The Fernsehturm tower was nicknamed the Pope's Revenge, because it shines a cross to the east depending on how the sun hits it.

Hey there, just came across this channel by chance and I must say: very well done this one, but a bit hasty. Nonetheless you'd done a lot of research to come up with this and I second the guy in the comedy club asking: who cares? Probably not your fellow Americans who do not care enough for their own country, let's wait for November, if you're getting my drift.I for one will care for the New York Vids I found here and my compliments to Lucie. Hi from Berlin, Germany

Berlin I like the video you did a Berlin

belfast as a peace wall seperating people nothings changed

Hallo Tom. Danke für dein Berlin Video. If you are still in Germany and interested in more facts about the country in general or specific things like the Bauhaus Architecture, get in touch. Would be happy to assist you, big fan... c u. Tschüss!

Ich bin ein Tomdnyc'er!

As a german: I Hope you enjoy your time here :) Next time visit an actually nice city like munich/Hamburg. Berlin is meh ;)

I was just asking what happened with Lucy!✊🏽✊🏽🙏🏼✊🏽✊🏽

Are you Tom from myspace in disguise?

❤

Tom. Is anything going on with you and Lucy? Some kind of vibe is definitely filtering through...

Why didn't you visit the bunker?

Napoleon wasn't small. That was a urban myth made up by the British. He was 170 cm/5'7". The average height of a French man at the time was 160 cm.
