    The Fall of Berlin...


    Recommended Posts

    After the movie "Der untergang" and a host of books... this is an interesting topic....

    How about seeing some stuff relating to Berlin 1945-1950? Russian, German, Allied HQ. Berlin Airlift etc. etc. etc..

    I am sure there is some good material in our hands...

    Chris - I have a British anti-looting poster from Berlin in the late 1940s. I picked it up at a Berlin flea market in the 80s. Unfortunately it's too big to scan. Kevin

    I have found this picture in a Russian fleemarket in Moscow last summer. I later sold this picture on eBay. I'm sorry I didn't find the picture without the watermarks.

    This is a private picture made in the garden of the Neue Reichskanzlei.
