TOUR DESCRIPTION
See the "1000 year Reich" in the center of Berlin - Goebbel's Propaganda Ministry; Goerings Air Ministry; the remains of Himmler's SS and the Gestapo Headquarters, where the New Reichchancellery was built for Hitler. Sixty years later some of the street names have changed but one cannot escape the Nazi past. Examine how this past is being looked at today, exploding myths surrounding Hitler's fate!
The once elegant Wilhelm Strasse and the surrounding streets gained a terrifying reputation during the Third Reich. On Wilhelm Platz, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels transformed an 18th century palace into the sinister Propaganda Ministry.Off the same square, Hitler built his intimidating New Reichschancellery and close by, the bunker where he committed suicide. On Wilhelm Strasse itself, Goering built the monumental Air Ministry while Himmler's SS and the Gestapo headquarters turned Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse into the most feared address in the Third Reich.
Find out about those who struggled against the Nazi system of terror, the devastation of Berlin by aerial bombing, the Soviet-led battle of Berlin and the final attack on the Reichstag. Finish the tour above the exact position where Hitler committed suicide. This tour strips away the myth and exposes sensationalist reporting about other shelters found in the area.
