In Berlin war damaged buildings are now protected and. must be preserved as history of the city, so no war damage is allowed to be repaired

Hi Russell, very good video with many overlays from then and now. Great job of recognizing and comparing places in the city despite having radically changed its appearance. Thank you for continuing to show so many historical corners of Berlin. A hug from a distance.

It is also the graves of nazi resistance fighters who where murdered several days before the fall of Berlin. I just happen on it and was very special surprise. The image of Martin Luther with Bible in hand with the image of a classical tomb full of gun fire.

I lived in the American Sector from December of 1961 to June of 1962 in West Berlin (but never encountered any other Americans while there). My sister and I would walk past a small church reduced to rubble on our way to a square to pick up a double-decker bus ~ that brought us to an American bus, that took us on the Air Base for school. There was a plaque commemorating it. I can't recall much about the plaque, except something about the church being destroyed by Allied bombers in WW II. It was not the Kaiser-Wilhelm church, however, which was much larger ~ and mostly still intact.

Germany won the war in late 1942. There was nothing Stalin could do to dislodge army group north from besieging Leningrad, absolutely nothing against army group center only 200 miles from Moscow….Ukraine was firmly under Axis control, Stalingrad the last arterial hub of the USSR was lost to Germany and the main arterial supply line of the USSR (the Volga River) was cut off. Stalin needed a miracle… Rommel was on his way to Egypt. U boats were devastating allied shipping in the Atlantic. Anglo Saxons kicked out of mainland Europe. Zionist regimes and Zionist propaganda no more. Peace for humanity
