Berlin visit

[Normandie1944]

Hello everyone,

I need some help on a visit to Berlin.
From the 19th untill the 23th of May I'm going to Berlin for my bachelor study Cultural Heritage.
As a collector of World War 2 militaria and as someone who's very interested in military history I want to know what I should visit and where it's located.
Are there some (WW2 related) places you would recommend?

[Aleksander P]

There a ton of WW2 places that I'd recommend. One being the roof of the Reichstag and visiting the building itself, it's amazing to just stand there and think of the final bitter battles that took place there.

There was this really great militaria shop situated there, with a lot of Soviet uniforms displayed, but of course a lot of German items too there. I need to find it online.

I like the Arsenal

Deutsches Historisches Museum: Deutsches Historisches Museum

Uniforms, weapons, 8,8 cm FLAK...

I've heard from several collectors that there's a huge flea-market (Flohmarkt) in Berlin that's worth looking up...
Good luck on your trip,
cheers, Glenn

Of course Glenn, but you must find a German taxi driver, the last time, I had one non German and he sent me to a small flea market at the east part of the city. Near the Bernauer Strasse.
Imposible to escape the wall, every where!
Are you from France? On MC III?
Cheers,
Michel
