Maree at the Berlin Wall at the Memorial Site 

At another part of the Wall near the War Museum 

Parts of the city side walks before the wall was built and some of the early 

wall preserved in historic excavation sites

This photo below shows the Berlin Wall in the foreground and the German Air Force building from WWII

Remarkably the building survived and is being used by the German Government today

Checkpoint Charlie one of the only places people could cross from West to East during the Cold War

The solders there now are actors for tourists to get a photo

This was the same site during the Cold War 

Very tense American and Russian tanks in a stand off

We came across this by accident and we spent a few hours here

This site is extremely well maintained and the information is displayed expertly

Makes you think and wonder how it all happened
