Tour description

The rise of the evil and its destruction.
 
We will walk through Nazi Berlin and learn everything about the wildest political party in our history, as well as the consequences of its defeat: the Cold War, the Berlin Wall and its fall. 


We will start at the Brandenburg Gate which is presenting the pre-Hitler Europe and, in the Reichstag, the ascended of power of the National Socialists. We will learn about the consolidation of the “Leader” (Führer) and the role of the SS in purging of the hindrance through the burning of the Reichstag, the burning of books, the night of long knives and the night of broken glass. 


Through the Tiergarten we will walk around to see the memorials: to the gypsy ethnic group, to the fallen Soviets, to homosexuals and lesbians and to the Jewish people, all of them are victims

of the Nazi Holocaust..


Later on, in the Leader bunker (Führer bunker), I will talk about his last days, his last political testament, his suicide and the fall of Berlin

With the conversed of Hitler death, those who need to go to the bathroom or take a little rest with a small snack, in a coffee shop that’s on the way, we can take it all there and have some pause.


In the last section, we will going to pass to the most terrifying street in Berlin, the Wilhelmstrasse, where the ministries and chancelleries of the Nazi leaders were, and to finish the war topic we will visit the Potsdamer Platz, where we will talk about the Nuremberg trials, their consequences and the division and consolidation in Europe of the communist and capitalist blockades.

A watchtower and the Berlin Wall will help us confront the reality of split Berlin back then, after succumbing to the impositions of the victors of World War II.


We will also pass by the Luftwaffe and the Topography of Terror Museum (free entrance) where there is an amazing photography exhibition of the substructure of the remains of the Gestapo (Secret State Police) and SS headquarters, by Henrich Himmler and Reinhardt Heyndrich, the architects of the Final Solution.


To finish it, I will accompany you to Checkpoint Charlie where we will see the best-known border crossing which is located there and the scene of espionage thrillers.. 


Needless to say, as a "berliner", I will offer you my recommendations to enjoy Berlin to the fullest and continue discovering it on your own..
