Looking forward to any pics Paul. Unfortunately my Berlin trip is on hold for the foreseeable future but hopefully it will happen at some stage. In the mean time I'll just enjoy everyone else's pics!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Nice one!...
the photo at the of post # 1 shows the Fredrickstrasse train station, when I was there in 2014 the large buildings on other side of the bridge were not there, they were empty lots full of rubble . The buildings facing the rubble were pock marked from bullet and artillery rounds. In fact all the buildings in the old east german sector had poorly done facades, from the street they looked rebuild but go through the courtyard or around the back and they still looked as if it was still Zero Hour.
the second photo in post # 4 this was the view from my room on the spree at Pensioner hotel, (great place I was single then the east german girls had little English, but we worked it outIn order to eat, I had to walk to the old American sector, and the Irish bar around the corner from the hotel. I walked over that bridge for two weeks everyday knowing the events that took place there
