Description
Go deep into Berlin’s military history on this private black van tour that covers the Battle of Berlin, which sparked the end of the Nazi regime and the eventual end of WWII in Europe.
The 1945 Battle of Berlin included some of the deadliest fighting in recorded military history. On this full day private black van Berlin tour, you’ll learn about the battle itself and how it led to the eventual fall of the Nazi regime. Follow along with an expert guide in military history as they explain the chaos of the battle, the strategies involved, and the surrender of the Third Reich.
You’ll visit the Reichstag building, which was one of the central targets of the Red Army during the battle, and see the unmarked site of the former Führerbunker, where Hitler eventually died by suicide.
Learn about the Nazi’s air defence system and the series of flak towers built in Berlin and beyond, to protect the regime from air attack.
You’ll also stop at the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst, located on the site where the German armed forces surrendered, and WWII ended.
Lastly, visit two Soviet war memorials, at Tiergarten and Treptower Park, both commemorating the Soviet soldiers who died during the Battle of Berlin.
