Berlin

Berlin is a cool place. I wish I could spend more time here, there is so much WWII history. I took a tour yesterday and walked around the city: through Brandenburg Gate, past the Berlin wall, to checkpoint Charlie and the old SS headquarters. Hitler’s bunker was my favorite- here I am thinking there’s going to be some old ruins of a bunker with cool shit inside, but all that’s there is one tiny sign with information stating Hitler’s bunker is buried here. Other than that, there is absolutely no trace of the thing (even the sign is only 3 years old), much like the rest of WWII history that Germany simply buries.

There are some, but only a few, old buildings of the Nazi era that weren’t bombed to hell; they are littered with bullet holes and shrapnel. The old SS building was really cool, it’s still standing very strong and is a remnant of Nazi architectural design- rigid and boring (picture below).
