Amazing, fantastic--intense. This is inspiring for me, an old man. I have been saving my money and my health for a journey that I need to walk. I have been researching my journey upon the Transiberian Railroad, then onward to Europe, where I will sojourn to the places on your incredible videos. Your videos enhanced what I need to experience. You are a wonderful young teacher, and you give much to your generation about a profound tale of humanity. So I think, there is hope for our planet with souls like you. I thank you sir, with much respect.

1:15 to 2:30 Anhalter Bahnhof, as the name implies, this was the terminal for trains to Saxony-Anhalt, after the war the station was patched up and a train service operated for a short while, but as Anhalter Bahnhof was in West-Berlin and Anhalt was in Eastern Germany the service was diverted into East-Berlin and the station closed, however there is an underground section of the S-Bahn (Suburban Railway) which has a station named 'Anhalter Bahnhof' which was intended as a transfer point.

Why haven't they blown to pieces the Soviet memorial as well!? They were just as bad as the Nazi's, if not worse.
@steeltrap38006 жыл бұрын
Because the Soviets controlled East Berlin until the wall came down and the powers that be (wisely IMO) decided not to stir shit up by such a provocative action. Sure, the Soviets were atrocious, but it's a problem of Western education that far too few people realise it was the Soviets who broke the back of Nazis Germany militarily and, as a consequence, also suffered by far the worst casualties. Should we spit in the faces of the soldiers who died defeating the Nazis simply because their government was dreadful? IMO no, we shouldn't; it's not a memorial to the Soviet State, it's a memorial to the millions of Soviet soldiers who died fighting the Nazis. They were, after all, allies of the Western powers. I've been there, and it does seem odd in one respect because of the complication of the Soviet system, but I found once I viewed it as a memorial to those who died defeating the Nazis then I'm fine with it. I'm certainly not insisting you share that view, but I am offering it as an explanation and something to consider.

That Soviet War Memorial was in West Berlin, close to the Berlin Wall, during the Cold War. In the former East Berlin is an even larger Soviet War Memorial.
@antonioacevedo52005 жыл бұрын
It is said that the Soviet troops may have raped as many as 1.5 million German women during their approach and capture of Berlin. Also, few remember that it was the Soviet Union that made a non-aggression pact with Hitler. They were in bed with him. The soviets also invaded Poland from the east. These are facts that few people ever bring up.

The same thing exists in Vienna, Austria. The Soviets built a monument to the liberation from the Nazi Germany occupation. I think it’s made out of red Granite. Those monuments appear to be veiled monuments of Soviet propaganda, rather then be pure monuments of liberation.

This was an interesting video. You should do a Nazi tour of München. There are a lot buildings and sites associated with Nazis such as the Königsplatz, the Felderrenhalle , the Haus der Deutschen Kunst, the Führerbau, the Brown House which was the home of the Nazi Party after 1930, the Löwenbräukeller where Hitller gave many speeches, Prinzregentenplatz where Hitler lived from 1929. There are also many sites related to the Beer Hall Putsch

Fascinating tour! You gave me quite a few ideas for my next trip to Berlin. Only one objection to your lecture: the idea that Goering's Aviation Ministry was deliberately spared by the Americans doesn't really match reality. It was basically a matter of luck. Bombing in WW2 wasn't nearly precise enough to deliberately hit or miss any small target, plus the RAF was still coming in at night. Thanks!

What is the street name where the former train station wall is located? And how do you spell the name of that station? Fascinating and detailed tour. Thank you for sharing all this for us on KZfaq.
@ruhri04116 жыл бұрын
The station was called Anhalter Bahnhof and the remains are on Stresemannstraße. But what cbutchko said about the station is not quite true. The station was badly damaged during the war and could have been used again. However, due to the division of the city, it lost its importance completely and the remains were blown up and cleared in 1959, except for parts of the portal that can still be seen there today. Interesting fact: During the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, a train left the station every two minutes or another train arrived.

Also a separate question since November 9th this year will be the 100th anniversary of the beer hall putz will you be doing a teaching tour of the March to the Odenplatz?? Will the German government allow any on site touring at that time? No glorification nonsense just a deeper understanding of the events of that day.

I really don‘t get why every trace of the third reich has to be demolished. It was a terrible time of course but it is part of our history and some places could be a way better Mahnmal than a parking lot. In Berchtesgaden there is the „kleine Reichskanzlei“ which is (thanks to monument protection) an untouched Building with people living in it. But even here you can see stains of paint attacks people would do to it.

You also missed the topography of terror, it is right next to the Luftwaffe HQ you mentioned. its was the HQ of the GESTAPO prince albrecht strasse it was called. .en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topography_of_Terror ps the americans did not deliberately miss the Luftwaffe HQ. It was the RAF that did vast majority of bombing of berlin and paid in blood. RThe luftwaffe HQ was missed purely by chance.
