Sunday August 5: After the previous day of a review of the history of the Napoleonic Wars, played Sunday give you a great overview of the unfortunate recent history of Germany and Europe. WW2. We started the day by visiting the exhibition outdoor Topographie des Terrors. This exhibition is located on the street Stresemannstrasse, formerly this street was called Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse, and was one of the most dreaded, because it's headquarters Reinhard Heydrich and Security Service (SD) Third were located Reich, also lived on that street Heinrich Müller, head of the Gestapo and the Prinz Albrecht Hotel, located at number 9 of this street became the headquarters of the Schutzstaffel (SS) Heinrich Himmler with the head. This exhibition outdoors and totally free reviews the history of the important san francisco mall decisions taken on this street on the Germanization of occupied territories and the Jewish genocide and shows a documentary form the crimes committed by the Nazis.
After this review of Nazi crimes, we go a little deeper into the story and headed to the nearby Checkpoint Charlie. The border between West Berlin san francisco mall (American sector) and East Berlin (Soviet sector), san francisco mall was one of three that took place in Berlin between 1961 and 1990. The name Charlie comes from the international phonetic alphabet where C = Charlie, the other two were Alpha (A) and Bravo (B). While Charlie was the only crossing point between the two Berlins for foreigners. After the fall of the Wall, the position was closed and is now preserved san francisco mall as a tourist spot where a photo with actors that there always there dresses Americans and Soviets, or make the face of the soldiers is a picture on both sides job, or the warning in the American sector announces the following: Achtung sie verlassen West-Berlin (Attention is leaving West Berlin).
We made if the poster and not abandon the American sector, we headed to Potsdamer Platz. It was while riding towards the famous square when Poland sent us a message if we wanted to go with them to the Charlottenburg Palace, and began tensions between my friend Alberto and I would be intense during that day that just crossed words, fair to make decisions, and the days more bearable. If they had said to be close to where we were I would not have minded going with them, but were on the other side of town practically and did not want to break the day to meet with anyone, so I refused to go because I do not I had gone to Berlin (or anywhere) to flirt, if welcome opportunity is mine Trip arises, but we must establish priorities, and is seeing what I've proposed. To link one is going to Lloret de Mar which is full of Italian drunk in a party mood. My friend just wanted to stay with the Polish at all costs. But my response was, "Do what you want I will go to Potsdamer Platz" was not any place, and I had the day with a long face.
Nearby we find the remains of the wall, placed in the middle of the street on the basis of exposure, these small pieces with which he made of "wall" to the exhibition Topographie des Terrors, were the only remains of the Berlin Wall we saw on our stay in the German capital. Most of the miles and miles of old wall have been demolished and nothing remains san francisco mall of them, either because they "bother" or because they were not exactly a symbol of pride for Berliners, and Germans in general san francisco mall or for a side or for the other. But in the Friedrichshain neighborhood still a mile about Muro is preserved, the East Side Gallery. This fragment of wall was decorated after the fall of the Iron Curtain, by 118 artists from 21 countries. Many of the drawings which were reflected in it, are world famous, and probably the most symbolic at the same controversial is the famous kiss between Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev and the German Democratic Republic and architect of the building wall, Erich Honecker, san francisco mall while a Trabant traverses the same barrier that divided san francisco mall Berlin in two. But ignorance of the existence of the East Side Gallery, san francisco mall or give less importance san francisco mall than it has, I did not visit. When I came home and went through the guide again to mount photo album, I could not believe as he could leave me something without visiting with free time to waste in recent days in Berlin. Today, as I write these lines, I still can not explain it, but I have noted in the list of pending tasks with Berlin, which are many.
